You need the Basic badge. Scroll up from your original post and see the article I wrote on INN. A lot of info in there about the tutorials, but it begins with how to get Basic access. ---

> [@Mints](#): > > Half of my screen is completely unused sidebars full of empty space (ok there are a few stars, but still…). Of the remaining half, a third of that is a scroll bar (do i really need a 4" wide scrollbar on a 30" monitor?). Why is the text area limited to ~75 characters wide? Are we going forwards or backwards? > > [EDIT:] I just counted, it’s 100 characters wide… that’s almost double what my 5" Osbourne screen could display in 1982. We’re experimenting with a [wide theme](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/changelist-2017-06-21/5594) as well, if you want to give it a try. Also pinging @Dirk_MacGirk for this. ---

OK simple question… back when the first devblog about the new forums was released, there was a mention that only one character per account would have a forum account and so we would need to choose who woudl get that single forum acount. Yet so far we’re able to pick which character logs into the forums, that is, each character gets its own forum account as before. So, is this a permanent policy? Can we sitll use one forum account for each character in the user account? Forever? ---

If you read the most recent devblog, this was why the new forums were delayed until now, in order to allow time to develop a solution to this, because the original plan was one forum account per email address and there was tremendous outcry about the “you have to post with your main” effect of that plan. ---
