    Night Style is a bit too dark, but it's much better than the white background i almost got blind.

    Thank you so much for this

    Why do people feel that this content background is brighter than the old content background? They were both white in colour.

    The old one had better separators in desktop mode.
    Mobile version is a much better experience though! :)

    Double for me on the mobile experience. Much easier to navigate and you don't have to focus on a certain point to go to that link.

    Last version had a medium blue background with a light blue content post. The sidebar was gray and the title bars were dark blue. Overall there was more to break up the amount of light colors.

    Random screenshot I found (Since I always kept the forums up on a side monitor, a lot of SS's i took in game captured the forum posts as well)

    Updated checklist, seemingly most of the requests are crossed off.

    Should I post a new poll now, wait a bit longer or just not bother? :eek:

    everything was clearly divided by dark colours. It was more suitable for people with handicaps. this one has so much more white space everywhere.

    I guess you could do, although we are still working on seeing what we can do about separating posts and the colours. Btw there should be an Arcade link at the top now? It's been there for a little while :p

    any way you can add a spoiler on the user info so that it wastes less space on forum replies?

    That's great. Sounds like this new version should be mobile only then P:

    Just wanted to say thanks, because you managed to highlight something that has been bugging me a bit but that I hadn't quite been able to put my finger on. The "Likes" bar and the signature are level with the top of the profile panel, which makes it very confusing when figuring out what belongs to which post. I think on the old vBulletin style, we had the signature starting near or at the bottom of the profile panel, and also the "Likes" bar stood out a bit better. I wonder if we also need to make the profile panel a little wider so that, as in the example above, the location and country flag sit next to their respective profile categories rather than below them.

    Teensy problem here, lol - I'm Forum Moderator and don't have an internet-capable mobile! (Nor am I likely to get one - don't have that sort of money for something I don't have a use for!)

    Is there a way to forward a "Conversation" (PM) to someone else?

    I can't seem to add a person into the conversation, also, will they see the entire conversation or just new posts?

    Ah, I didn't start the conversation so I can't invite someone (so can't forward it neatly). Pretty stupid actually :o

    I'm forced to use the bright, default theme, because the dark theme is just a mash of dark colours put on top of eachother which makes most things hard, if not impossible, to read. And it's still difficult to decide what post belongs to whom. The time stamp should, imo, be at the bottom of every post, along with the Like-button etc.
    I'm talking about this line:
