This is a general idea of where the design is headed. This is the mobile version of when you hit a category (eg Central Coast Mariners, Australian, Overseas, Other...) and a thread.
It doesn't show all the tiny details but gives the general feel. It's not a great leap from what we have now but gradual improvements (IMO). The desktop version is where we can fit in more stuff and do a bit more.

Top of the page has been condensed a fair bit. Logo top/middle, 'hamburger' menu left, your avatar (if logged in) and messages/alerts icons above it. Search icon will expand out when clicked to an input, which is fairly standard.
Heading for the category and stats under it - posts and post views.
The 'start new thread' button is a bit more prominent and hopefully encourage more people to use it
The thread list has been de-cluttered. Thread starter icon removed, page number links on each thread gone. Gives a bit more room for the thread title and details on who posted last and when.
Given this is mobile there's not a lot we can do about having to scroll past all the stickies at the top, but hopefully this makes things a tad easier.
You can click on the first link and it takes you to the thread view. The aim here again is to de-clutter and use as much space as possible. Just copy/pasted some random post text that happened to be on the page at the time.
The post rating icons will appear when you click 'like' instead of being on all the time.
So that's it for now - not really anything new but a bit of re-styling. Just toying with some ideas for desktop and how to use all the space nicely. And then the home page, which needs at least a couple of versions (off-season, on-season...), and various different layouts within layouts.
