Good stuff! Thank you for making the Thanks! work flawlessly now without reloading the page.

Let me help you getting the Minimalistic inside a phone screen (testing against the E71):

- There is something forcing a horizontal scroll. I believe is the header of posts, specifically the "Posts: 513 Thanks!: 54 Thanked 159 Times in 90 Posts". Do we really need this in the Minimalistic theme? If you are into minimalism and simplicity those details are secondary to you.

- Another candidate is the Search form in the top of the page. Considering that there is already a Search link in the top right, can we remove the form? It's not something a Minimalist users would use all the time and it's anyway one click and few pixels away.

- Top bar navigation. If you remove the "Bugs" link (not that relevant, really) and reduce the font it will fit in one line. I wonder if Viaspy needs to be there, actually. It's such a hardcore feature that can be linked somewhere.

- Maybe you could save "Home" too. There is something fishy in terms of consistency with the item in the center of the top bar (actually the whole top bar is fishy since it disappears in pages like New or Today). What if the top bar would read always "Back Index Search". "Index" is clearer that "Home" since the latter could refer to maemo.org homepage.

And I think someone said this, but just in case:

- In the thread page the size of the topic titles is too big imho. "Quote | Quick Reply..." too.

- Signature + "Quote | Quick Reply..." should be on the same white background than the body of the message, otherwise it gets confusing.

- Aso the grey separation between name of the poster and post content is weird. A post should be better a whole island with white background swimming in the grey sea, don't you think? Grey would define the separation between posts.
