I think the new forum pages are too small/narrow with seemingly low resolution compared to the old design. I would expect wider pages made for widescreen monitors. It’s also somewhat harder to find what you’re looking for, it’s not intuitive. I’m not even sure I posted this message in the right place. And the tiny avatars have lost their purpose. As it is now, I would prefer the old forums. Sorry, I know you guys must have worked hard on it but I don’t see any improvement over the old forum design. ---

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed that before. Now that I have tried it in experimental widescreen mode, I think it’s a substantial improvement. It should be the default. ---

That’s something we can consider once it’s no longer experimental. 😛 :aura: ---

There is the wide-screen theme you can select and also on the avatars, you can install a userscript to adjust that as well. I was saddened by the tiny avatars as well, but this works. See: > **[\[UserScript\] 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... ---

Format is clean on mobile. What I like the most is my login persists through sessions. In the last forum I had to visit evegate to renew my forum session. Kind of annoying when you have the double verification with the google code generator. So yay! ---

have you seen the discourse app? Pretty much the same, but has auth by token.
