I sympathise with Freddy. I've had the same problem on several forums - to make the text big enough to read I have to zoom in by reverse-pinching, but that makes useful information - or in this case the number of messages and the 'd' link - fall off the screen.

So I often write 'userstyles' to solve it. These can change the position of the columns and the size of the text. I wrote one for mudcat to magnify posts so that I can read them on my phone: there's a screenshot in the page linked at the bottom.

A userstyle could almost certainly be used to move the number of messages column to the left hand side of the screen. I knocked up a proof of concept: screenshot

BUT the only mobile browser than supports userstyles is Firefox for Android, and I guess, because you don't say, that you're using Chrome, Freddy. Are you prepared to change to Firefox? You'll also be able to use my other mudcat tools. (The disadvantage would be if you're using Chrome elsewhere - you'd lose syncing bookmarks etc. The answer, of course, is to use Firefox everywhere ;)

Anyway, I'll see if I can produce a publishable userstyle. I think I'd use it myself.
