[General] why isn't responsive design a default?

[HAFOOCH]

just curious

[Matt]

It's just not something we've been able to implement yet - 1.9 has an all new responsive theme.

hello and thanks once more..
is it hard to implement responsive theme?
when should 1.9 expected to be out for use?

[Matt]

It's not that it's hard, and there are responsive themes available, it's just not something we've retrofitted into an outdated template system, instead we waited until we could rebuild the theme. We don't have a fixed release date for 1.9 at the moment.

i see
what about rtl support? do you work on it? will it be available on 1.9?

[Matt]

MyBB has always included RTL support as far as I'm aware. RTL is enabled via language packs, and the theme can then be styled to support that.

thanks

i wish i could do it alone or someone else will help
