Forum Improvements

That would be a bad idea, a *very* bad idea... I'd way rather that not be the case... the exception being to threads that are stickied, which I do not know offhand if icyboards has.
A thread commented on is a thread active, if it is *not* bumped, you could never tell if it had been commented because it could have been pages deep...

Some ideas that were brought up in the New Forum thread that I figured I'd bring here.
- A number of potential new forums, primarily ones that are popular enough to already have their own threads dedicated to them or ones that are popular enough that it's likely they'd become active quite quickly. These are: One Piece, The World God Only Knows, Fairy Tail, Beelzebub, Shingeki no Kyojin, My Little Pony (keeping the viral menace contained in one area), Tower of God, To Aru Majutsu no Index and Avatar: The Last Airbender. One suggestion was that they could receive a trial period of a month or so and if they have enough activity then they stay in business.
- Renaming the Fate/Stay Night forum as the Type-Moon Section to include all the work involving the Nasuverse.
- Merging the Negima section with Love Hina since they're both by the same author and the former's mostly inactive.
And this last one:

Could we get something installed on here to make it not terrible on mobile devices? It's almost acceptable on 10" tablets, but anything smaller and it devolves from annoying to unusable. Brief Googling for options has turned up MyBB GoMobile, Tapatalk, or just a really fugly theme with big fonts and enforced minimal styling -- no idea how viable any of them are.
Except for the really minor issue some have, like me, with the post a new reply box that was never fixed... and perhaps a tweak or two I would not mind seeing, I'm fine with this theme pretty much as it is.
While I do not see why websites which are mostly meant for full screen computing should cater to the sub 10" gadget level devices, I do not see why a simple minimal theme could not be had that should cater to them... Would a plug in really be needed?

The reply box issue I'm not sure how to fix- that sounds like something on your end, honestly, I've tried it with Chrome, Safari, IE, firefox and opera and I haven't been able to replicate it.
For PMs, I can look into it.
For the mobile theme, the problem is that this site requires things that many mobiles don't support- like images, CSS, and in some cases javascript.

The reply box, while mildly annoying, is only that, and hardly a big issue.
I can tell you while it is in IE10 for me... Opera is fine. I refuse to install any version of FireFox to check if that browser has the issue. And I do not happen to have Chrome installed.
However, in IE10 it seems to me the issue is not the Reply box directly, but the fact that on the menu bar the justify text icon is wrapped to a second line. Since the icon or ribbon bar is two icons high and not one, it forces the reply box to appear lower than it should be... If the Reply box were a tiny bit wider, or the one icon not wrapped, it seems likely that would snap it back to its proper position.
Oh well...
