    Hope this is the in-progress version and not the final set of layout changes.

    Yep, in Android mine changed in the last few hours and is now awful. If the choice is this or what we had before, please change it back and leave it alone.

    Disgusting on Android. The Logo is Huge, The black background sucks, and like everyone else said the text box is bad. Please put it back. Did anyone have a problem with the old mobile design? I sure didn't.

    I agree this is not user friendly.

    I used to think the mobile version was less optimal than the desktop version because there was some limited functionality compared to the desktop version. 

    But as far as the actual look and utility went, there wasn't anything wrong with it, and as such is highly preferable to what's going on now. I'm hoping this is just a work in progress. If not, just go back to what we had. It may not have been as robust as the desktop version, but it was at least accessible. This barely qualifies.

    The only problem I had was that I could not add or change my profile pic on the mobile, but like you said other functions were also limited. I guess since I never had to use those other functions I did not notice the limitations. I do agree with you that the look and utility weren't an issue.

    Hi Everyone. We're aware of some of the size issues being displayed on mobile. I've already reached out to the web developers to inform them of this occurrence, and hopefully it will be fixed soon. Thanks for being patient!

    This is just D3's way of making Discord the official source for information.

    Load desktop view is almost a workaround,  but still not ideal

    Thanks for that suggestion, that's wildly better.

    Just to mention, even if you fix the size issues, personally I hate white-on-black websites. They make my eyes hurt. We'd desperately need a 'Light' option somewhere if that's going to be the base look (an option that doesn't currently exist unless I'm missing something).

    I don't understand why companies always try to to "fix" viewing their site on mobile.  99% of the time it is worse than their regular site.  They should put that time and money into a mobile app that has phone features.  No reason to monkey with a regular website.

    Thanks for pointing that out! The mobile design for the website is actually supposed to mimic the desktop version, which has a light-grey background with white and dark-blue highlights. The team is also currently working on figuring out why it has adopted this white on black theme, as this was not how it appeared during the planning phase.
