Yeh, sorry, here’s [the discussion](https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/making-discourse-fluid-responsive/115089/5). I always built my website with content that adapt to the size of the screen (aka responsive design) for my latest websites. I just don’t understand the need for a separated mobile theme, maybe I am lack of that knowledge, but please help me understand.

I already installed discourse and ready to go, but some things made me think twice whether to continue with it, that’s why I am asking lots of questions, sorry for that.
