The EVE Online Forums will experience a short transition to read only mode on the morning of May 25th, while essential maintenance is carried out. While the forums will still remain available to read, the ability to post will be unavailable from 06:00 - 07:00 UTC tomorrow, May 25th, 2018. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause!

Nearly the day since I loged in here I was using this: > [@\[UserScript\] Avatar Size & Sub-Category Adjustment](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/userscript-avatar-size-sub-category-adjustment/9032): > > This is a simple UserScript that I made that does a couple things to edit the visual appearance of the new forums to adjust a few things that I didn’t like too much. Hope you enjoy! If you like this script or even use it now, please leave a like or comment! Please also comment if you have any issues. grin What this script does: Adjusts the sub-categories to list vertically vs. side by side Resizes the user avatar on posts from 45x45 to 120x120 Readjust and Re-position avatar image on the U… And I cant see a reason why someone would stay with smallish ones. ---

Because having to rely on the use of 3rd party scripts on a forum to get the functionality that the previous one had is silly? ---
