Although everything else has been made large in the new mobile layout (too large sometimes, like the header above each message and the buttons that are just wide enough to wrap to a second row instead of fitting in one), the links to navigate between multiple pages of a thread are still tiny. And there's still no handy "next page" link; instead there's the useless "go up" or "go down" link to go to the top/bottom of the current page.

I there something we can do to get our avatars to show up? Perhaps the specs changed and some of our avatars don't comply? Should we re-upload our avatars?

Also appreciate the work, Yvonne. I understand this is a work-in-progress.
Say, it might be helpful to either let folks know downtime is coming, or to post elsewhere (e.g., on the FB page) what is going on. I say this not merely for those who are heavily invested in this board and contribute to its ethos, but also so folks can know that there is nothing wrong with their connectivity, browser, etc., when they are notified that the site is unavailable.
Thanks again!

I think you need to re-upload them.

Just having the Cardboard, in any format, is a priceless gift for us.
I don't access the Cardboard from any mobile device, so I probably don't understand the benefits of the change. For some reason the change shrank the size of the fonts for me and I'm having a harder time reading the board than before the switch. It's probably something I need to fix on my end. I know how to fix the fonts and size of things I type, but how do I fix the font size of everyone else's posts so I can read them more easily?

If you're in Windows then Ctrl++/- will grow/shrink webpages as will Ctrl+[scroll wheel]. If you're using an extendable browser then there are plugins that can change zoom settings per site, though maybe that's default behavior now (I used to have some weird interactions on an old computer, but don't use it any more).

Like others, by no means am I complaining about anything. But since at some level I think you are looking for feedback, there are two issues in particular I have noticed - both with respect to quoting previous posts.
It appears that the name of the poster being quoted no longer appears, even if it is in the code. That makes it hard to follow conversations at times.
Secondly, the bars beside the quotation are very wide, making it appear fairly ridiculous on my phone. If there is a nested quotation, then the text becomes about a single word wide.

New format is really hard to read and post on, at least on my Samsung Note. Way too much wasted space IMHO.
Still glad it's back though.
