Hello Support,

I have been using the Simple:Press plugin for some time now but just discover that the forum is not been displayed properly on mobile devices. http://www.thegamblersclub.com.....ino-forum/

The Wordpress theme my site is using is responsive, every other page display properly and showed mobile friendly in Goolge except the forum.

When been displayed on a mobile phone the forum page can slide to the right the same width as the phone screen. eg. (the page display can fit two phone screens)

Its as if the forum doesn't detect that is been displayed on a smaller screen

There is another thing to note: even when browsing from a mobile phone, the devices been used is saying desktop

I use to work ok even with the default theme.

If you want a mobile responsive display, you must use both a responsive wp theme and a responsive sp theme...  we have 3 responsive themes:  Reboot, Unified and Barebones...

Default is not and never has been a responsive theme - designed long ago - in fact, has not been our install theme for a while now- since replace by Barebones...

That said, it appears that you are using reboot not default like you mention... 

And when I view it on my android phone, it looks fine and definitely responsive...

so not sure exactly what you are seeing...

Yes i'm using the reboot theme but when you swipe left the forum slide over displaying a blank screen.

And the theme am using is a responsive theme, every other page fits the screen perfectly. 

What could cause the forum to slide displaying a white screen even though the themes are responsive?

I found what was causing the forum to slide, it was the Share This plugin.

I disabled all Simple:Press plugins and activate them one by one, and when Share This is activated the forum slides and when deactivated forum doesn't slide.

Thanks Mr Papa and kvr28 for the response, appreciate it!

Oh dear - I can replicate that. The problem is that the Share This service wants to plant this hidden div on the page under each button and they want it big. I am going to open a ticket to try and investigate if we can do something about that....
