Oh you're right.
I personally never really cared about this, but that's a good point.

I'm guilty of looking at a thread with 20+ pages of replies and going "No way am I reading all of that" and using these to read the last page lol. Doing that now involves many more clicks/taps.

I know. It's a tiny little thing to nitpick over.
 
Well, I often browse the forum on my Android tablet, and I could always check pages count without actually opening threads by tapping anywhere on the empty space near threads' titles.

Does that work for you?

No it doesn't, sadly.

Tablets use the desktop layout.

I mean, on the mobile version you see the number of replies in every thread. Just remember that every page is 20 posts long, quick mental math would tell you a thread with 50 replies is only 3 pages, or 132 is 7, etc etc.

But if you can't math and you don't mind resizing things every now and again, you can just change the User Agent to Desktop in whatever browser you're using, so you can check the page numbers. If it's Chrome it's super simple, since it has a "Desktop site" checkbox in the 3 button menu that you can just toggle on and off when you want to check number of pages.

I'm usually fine with website changes, but since I primarily browse gbaTemp in a very small resolution, most of the screen is filled with headers, oversized buttons, and padding/margins. TempStyle2 is TempStyle1 where everything is (literally) 100% bigger. It feels like there is a 10px margin on every element. Will we ever see a compact view? Heck, I'd be fine with an alternate front page that only shows news and recent content. This is possible!

As a side note, at the very least, currently the Recent Content block is a little lower than half way down the entire front page when viewed at a skinny resolution. This is below things I'd deem less important on a forum such as statistics and downloads. Can this be re-ordered? I feel like the forum activity should be on the top of the forum? This is possible!

It might not help everything, but I think you can actually customise your fp just to have those things. Have a play around here: https://gbatemp.net/home/customize

This "Staff Online Now" box just now suddenly appeared to the side, when viewing ANY thread... and it makes the thread view smaller (as it makes everything below it an empty space)... it's quite annoying, is there a way to get rid of it or move it somewhere else?

It's in preferences. The option to hide sidebar in threads, think they're testing it atm. Chances are when something is new, there'll be a new pref to disable it too.

Yes we are adding a sidebar to thread views. You can disable it in preferences but it should contain other useful boxes and not just staff online - so I'm not sure why that's only appearing for you. Will investigate.

For what it's worth, it shows news, reviews, recent content, recent downloads, and staff on mine.
