To flesh out Jose's sentiment a bit more, the "core" VBulletin development of things like the mobile skin affects 20 other travel forums directly, and is in turn affected by more than 500 forums across all of IB. We can't make changes lightly, nor can we do ones like this quickly, since there is so much riding on them in terms of community and in terms of development resources.

We all wish we could move faster and better hone in on the issues of major importance to groups of members. But we do our best and stay dedicated to the big picture of improving FlyerTalk along with all the other forums (though, again, FT is the primary mover of these things).
