So because doing forum stuff seemed good for procrastinating on uni work today, we now have a Fandom Links box on the homepage.
If there's anything important missing, I can add it really quick now. ;)
Yay! It's very useful and convenient! Thank you!

So I have a little free time today and tomorrow, and decided to tackle some old pet peeves about the forum.
Today: proper page buttons! :))
They're not tiny and unclickable-without-zoom on mobile anymore! Also, there's a previous page (❰) and a next page (❱) button.

Also, is there anybody using the "Previous topic" and "Next topic" buttons? Because if they're just unnecessary clutter I'd get rid of them.

Neato!  Thanks, Eriaror!

I don't think anyone uses "Previous topic" and "Next topic," so I'm in favor of deleting them like you suggest.  But let's see if anyone speaks up for those buttons...

I'm fine with getting rid of the next/last topic buttons. Personally I don't tend to use them. Maybe the next/last page buttons could be in the same style as them, with text too instead of just a little icon? If that's possible I think it might look better.

Also I just noticed that the next/last page buttons don't show up properly on mobile, they just show as little blank squares for me.

Great idea for those next/last buttons and the proper individual buttons for page numbers is a nice touch too. Thanks! ;D

Those Previous Topic/Next Topic buttons are annoying... I always used to mistakenly click on them when I wanted to go to the previous or next page...

I agree, the only time I've used the next/last topic buttons was back when I first joined and accidentally mistook them for next/last page buttons.

Got rid of the Previous/Next topic buttons.

Also, added Prev/Next labels to the prev/next page buttons, and changed the icons on them to use FontAwesome, so it appears for everyone. :)

Aw, man, I kinda liked the prev/next topic buttons. Oh well, seems like public opinion's not with me on this one :P

Mobile improvement asked long ago:
If you tap a post, every user field and other thing that's hidden gets displayed. ^-^

(Also avatar gets little bigger so it looks a bit more acceptable. Still could look better though.)
Enjoy! :D

That's super -- thanks so much, Eriaror!  I'm a desktop person myself, but this'll make a big difference to a lot of Forumites.
