Touch site design improvements

Few things to note..
- Rating, post count and title is not needed - takes up far too much space. You need to ask does this information serve a meaningful purpose for the viewer. In 99% of cases, it doesn't. You could set it up so that it will show the title if the message is from a Mod/Admin/etc.
- At the moment the post count is bolded while everything else is normal font weight, which suggests post count is the most important part of that area
- Facebook, Twitter, etc. links in the bottom of each post takes up too much space and should be removed. Also why would you have a call to action to a "rival" social media site so prominent on each post?
- Padding, margins, etc. all over the place
- While font size of 16 is good, it's just a tad too big for forums
- The pagination is not correct. Double arrows on pagination usually indicates to go to the first/last page. At the moment on Boards it's to go to the previous/next page. Also the triple dots is clickable but serves no function
I took 10 minutes out of my job (Web Developer) to throw together a quick CSS update to the touch site (I know it's no longer a 'touch' version of the site, just a responsive version of the main site)
Before
After
These are the exact same screen sizes used for both. My new design is far from perfect it was just thrown together really.. I guess I'm just trying to point out that big UI/UX improvements can be done relatively quickly..
