Example of a Nabble forum ...

This is a sample Nabble forum (free, www.nabble.com).  Just playing with it for now.  It works in the wide format as well as in the narrower one for mobile devices.

This site is "adaptive" rather than "responsive."  It has a separate layout for narrow screens, and determines the width of the user's display, then uses the layout that's designed to fit.  It does not flow, readjusting line lengths, as the screen narrows.  Adaptive means that the designer can layout the narrow version exactly as he/she chooses, rather than having things move around dynamically, which can mess with the overall look.

Xara offers the option of creating multiple "variants" (adaptive layouts) of any site, and allows the user to determine which objects are shared.  Any object which is shared is updated on every variant when one is edited.  For instance, a news section, which is subject to frequent change, but I have other things that are specific to different variants, and they are not shared.
