Is there any theme for mobile?

@naikun shared a screenshot of a mobile view, highlighting an area that confuses users. The issue is with the combination of icons and a dropdown box for topic controls. Users are suggesting replacing the dropdown box with icons. Additionally, there is an issue with the “Watched” button’s text wrapping to two lines on mobile.

@hawm agrees that the multiple control components can be confusing, and @naikun is unsure if it’s a good idea to change the design.

@nolo points out that the marked areas are likely admin controls that regular users won’t see. However, @naikun shares another screenshot, showing that the issue persists even for regular users.

@nolo identifies the elements as “Topic Controls” and suggests adding CSS code to hide them on mobile if desired. @hawm shares a related discussion about text wrapping issues on mobile, specifically with CJK languages.

Thanks for your reply.

  1. Some users ask me why they use the icon for reply, bookmark, flag on the topics, and then use the dopdown box at that point( the red maeked area).They advise change the dropdown box to icon.

  2. Is any way to increase the width of watched button, make the chinese text of button in one line on mobile view?

I am not sure they are right, because I am newer to discouse too, but I think it will be better on mobile view.

Thanks!

Aren’t the marked areas your admin controls? Log into your forum as a regular user and you won’t see much of it.

From my view on mobile as a regular user, the topic on meta.discouse.com likes this:

These are called “Topic Controls”. I’m not aware how you can selectively limit these from the admin settings. I only see options for the post menu.

If you want them totally gone on mobile, you could add this to your theme’s mobile css:

#topic-footer-buttons {
    display:none;
}
