The mobile theme won't be in place until our mobile advertising stuff is in place. It's all being worked on, but taking more time.
The new server has arrived, though! My admins are off for Memorial Day weekend, but we'll get to it early next week with the hope of having everything moved by the end of next week.
Couldn't you get an app built specifically for the site/forum?
Would then have full control and they are not that expensive nowadays.

Any update on when a mobile theme will be in place?
Any news on whether we will be able to read the forum through tapatalk?
We will not be using Tapatalk -- it would actually help us lose money.
There is a mobile theme we can use, but we're still testing out mobile ad solutions. Should have an update shortly.
Trust me, we're working on it, but with mobile advertising it's like learning a new language. But we are learning! Hang in there.
Im aware CBR is a custom written site, and a request like this is a tall order. You can't just pop in a new theme or change a style sheet or two. However, I find myself using CBR on mobile devices more than on a desktop.
The areas I primarily use are the news articles, and issue previews--those are my favorites. The forums are usable but I don't like using them on mobiles (but that's true of any forum). When using an iPhone, the simplified 'reader' view is disabled--so lots of pinching and scrolling :-)
Please don't go tapatalk...that app is awful. I'd rather put up with the way the forums are now than deal with that...
i know how much work it is to get your site responsive, but not having a mobile site and forum or be responsive in the year 2015 is just lame.
Making the forums mobile friendly would take a few minutes. It just needs to be enabled. In fact after the forums were rebooted they did have the mobile theme enabled and it was awesome. It was taken off a week or two after the reboot.
Like you say very lame. Usually the mods say its up to Jonah but I think he's busy doing other things now.
I agree with everything. The site is a mess to read on mobile and I would like a place where I could see all the treads I participate in.
