New theme for Discourse seems like a step backwards

The table layout of Discourse change today… and it is annoyingly wasteful of screen space.

Was the change on our admin side or due to an update?

Here’s the new layout on an Android phone…

As you can see ¾ of the screen is reserved for a small avatar icon, a count and a date. Leaving only ¼ for the content preview.

And when opening to the site a new wasteful welcome banner wastes ⅙ of the screen.

Disabled the new Global welcome banner.

See if that helps?

Thanks. That improves things a bit. (I’ve never been fond of automation being overly effussive. So the forum welcoming people so brightly might annoy me more than it does others.)
