Look at the first post, I showed the diffs between both versions:

https://i.imgur.com/wfmm035.png <- For "me" the new is cleaner.

https://i.imgur.com/LzvhrdQ.png <- I can read more.

https://i.imgur.com/BM13xTw.png <- At the bottom there is a 
shortcut to change pages on a topic.

Well I'll not enter in a battle which design is better, all I 
know is the current design doesn't works for me on my old LG K4.

Let's see this closely and compare these 2 versions:

1) https://i.imgur.com/n2N7Tfx.png <- In the original you need to 
scroll down first to see the topics.

2) After scrolling down you will see this:

new version is only missing one topic (LDC).

I'd like to see screenshots running on your iPhone 8.

Again look my first post where I said:

So I use this mobile version only when I am on the road, to see 
what's happening here, if you ask the mods, all my posts came 
from the same IP (Desktop), this mobile version was intended only 
to read on my tiny and old mobile phone.

Yes the button (Create a Topic) was decorated while I was testing 
("Beta"), but the page inside (Submit Form) wasn't.

Finally I wrote this for myself and I shared with some C# friends 
which currently are in doubt between a new language (C++, Rust 
and D) for some projects, and they complained about the layout 
too, and for what it seems maybe we are the only 5 ~ 6 persons 
bothered with this problem.

I'll let this running if my friends showed some interest, 
otherwise I'll turn this private for my own use, since I'll be 
only user.
