Michael, I did put the HERE I AM text in the test location as you suggested. (in my main module item_detail template, not the custom skin one)
The HERE I AM showed up in the correct place (same as your screen shot) in my desktop version, but did NOT show at all on my phone (after reset cache & reloading page). Not sure if that was to be expected.
Then i removed that test text, and in the same location deleted the "&&...." section you mentioned, on line 151 of my template, reset cache again. The result is that everything looks the same as it did before i did anything: full editor showing on desktop version, and the abbreviated editor showing on my phone (with only the PostResponse/AttachFile/BBCCodeHelp buttons showing.
Any further thoughts on what to try to get the full (or closer to full) text editor to show on mobile?
(Right now I've left my Profiles>Forum>item_detail tpl with that snippet deleted from line 151. The forums seem to be functioning ok. I can always put it back as before. I've been testing this on my less important test site pennywhistleclub btw)
Here's how that paragraph of code looks now:
<div class="forum_new_post_form">
<div id="forum_notice" style="display:none;"><!-- any forum errors load here --></div>
<form id="cform" action="{$jamroom_url}/{$murl}/post_create_save" method="POST" onsubmit="jrForumPostResponse('#cform');return false">
<input type="hidden" id="forum_group_id" name="forum_group_id" value="{$topic._item_id}">
<input type="hidden" id="forum_profile_id" name="forum_profile_id" value="{$topic.forum_profile_id}">
{if isset($_conf.jrForum_editor) && $_conf.jrForum_editor == 'on'}
{jrCore_editor_field name="forum_text"}
{else}
<textarea id="forum_new_post_textarea" name="forum_text" cols="40" rows="6" class="form_textarea" style="width:98%;"></textarea><br>
{/if}
<div style="vertical-align:middle;">
{jrCore_lang module="jrCore" id="73" default="working..." assign="working"}
{jrCore_image image="submit.gif" id="form_submit_indicator" width="24" height="24" alt=$working style="margin:8px 8px 0px 8px;"}<input id="forum_submit" type="submit" value="Post Response" class="form_button" style="margin-top:6px;">
{if jrCore_module_is_active('jrAction') && $_conf.jrForum_timeline == "on"}
<input type="checkbox" id="jraction_add_to_timeline" name="jraction_add_to_timeline" checked="checked"> <span class="normal capital">{jrCore_lang module="jrAction" id=13 default="add to timeline"}</span><br>
{/if}
