I don't come here in this section that often but yeah a darker theme would be welcomed.

Good to hear the wonky theme is only temporary.
If you ever feel useless, remember that CR 504 exists.

I just booted up the forum on my phone and the theme was back in button copy, albeit with corrupted images. It seemed as if there were no posts on there after the update, and it reverted to the modern theme after clicking on a link:

You're probably seeing a snapshot of the forum stored in your phone's browser cache.

Let's just keep the new theme. I've gotten used to it.

At least it's not a "Road Construction" theme with construction orange, safety green, and fluorescent yellow.
Why does "END ROAD WORK" sound like it belongs on a protest sign?

I absolutely despise it, and I've had some users tell me they have been using the forum less or not at all because of it. I have a replacement about half-done, but I want to add dark mode support, but stuff keeps coming up that keeps me from getting around to finishing it.

In any case, just like before, if you do prefer this theme, it will be available as an option in your preferences.

Are any of the users staying away citizens of Finland?

No, they're all Americans.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I've been using the forum less, but I too absolutely despise this theme. So,  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap: for the upcoming replacement.

I've wondered myself if the temporary theme change turned off/deterred a lot of the P13-like posters.

Then why change it back?

I'm fine with the new look myself.

I miss the old theme. Still not used to some of the changes on the default one.

That explains why forum checks have taken a LOT less time over the last few weeks.  I'm actually not looking forward to the idea of the forum going back to taking 3-4 hours/day of my time...
