Major usability problem: Make Forward/Backward game move buttons bigger

The following applies to using the Lichess website on a tablet/phone touchscreen device:

Am I the only one who is constantly accidentally clicking user profile links (which are right next to the intended buttons) when trying to press Forward/Backward buttons to play through games? Both when observing games and looking through games when they are finished. The buttons are a tiny bit bigger in game analysis mode, but still way too small, and it's not like I have huge hands.

Is there a bug for this already? I can always file one myself if no one else already has. Or if someone knows of a css mod/userstyle doohickey, that would be great too.

PS Sorry for posting in chess discussion forum, I meant to post to lichess feedback forum.
I logged something like this a while back but I flagged it up as fixed after the last upgrade. The start/end/forward/back buttons were previously all bunched beside each other and now they are spaced out across the bottom of the board.

github.com/ornicar/lila/issues/4908 was the bug I logged.

But I haven't checked it on all sizes of device, I know it now displays differently depending on the size of the device so you should specify the device you're using.
