Of course, a number of UX and UI consultants were involved in the development of the mobile version. The site will continue to evolve, every decision is made based on stats and facts; contrary to belief we don't change things for fun. Whilst you guys see the opinion of the 100 or so people who post on the forums, we see the behaviour of how every user browses the site.

The demographic is actually much more diverse, with so many users now browsing the site on mobile + tablet we can make various estimations that if you can use an iphone 6 then you will know what the standard search icon is that is used all over the internet etc
