It'd be great if you guys could tweak the CSS and HTML of the default theme so it's fully responsive. It'd help theme designers and the MyBB CSS is way easier to understand https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?action=view&pid=801 it works but restyling is very difficult so adjustments to the default theme would be great Big Grin
MyBB 2.0 will be responsive by default, so I will suggest wait for that Smile
Won't happen in 1.8. If it was going to happen we would have done it for MyBB 1.8.0.

Who knows about the future. Shade (one of the MyBB Dev) has some plans on making a pull with adding responsive.css for the default theme on the core. Not sure if he is still working on it lately though.

I really hope he is willing to do that update. Like every MyBB Theme Designer would be jumping for joy if they had to ability to easily create responsive themes from the MyBB Default Theme Big Grin
I think it will be in 2.0. You can use your own theme which will be fully responsive.

It would likely require more than dropping in a CSS file for the theme to become responsive (aka breaking theme compatibility), and it's silly to add such a feature into a bugfix release. Better to focus on 2.0 at this stage.

We didn't make MyBB 1.8 responsive because it would've required major updates to 1.6 themes. It doesn't make sense to do it now.

The CSS can't be tweaked. All tables (used for layout) need to be removed to claim a fully responsive theme. I recommend using W3-Responsive It's easier to learn and customize than Bootstrap.

It would be nice to have responsive default for 1.8. Simply because 2.0 is not coming anytime soon.

It would make more sense to focus on developing 2.0 then.

Sites on MyBB 1.8 should have this too. There are many sites with like 100s of custom plugins and many sites when 1.8 stops receiving security updates will maintain their own code base rather than updating to 2.0 because it's more work to upgrade all plugins than to maintain their own code base with their own core edits. Even though the MyBB Group won't support them at that point the smart administrators with successful communities won't care :/
