Did you know there are different themes to choose from for the site? You can find this in your Profile under Settings. It is basically just different colors you can have the forum look like for yourself.

I can also add more themes if anyone makes a recommendation for different colors they want paired together perhaps, but so far I have basic colors added. This forum is fairly customizable!

There is even a purple theme with larger text for those who find the text too small but want to keep the same color. I think I made that one for Cherry back in the day ;-)

If snowfall or other festive themes causes you lag, then please use the Purple theme no snowflakes or fireworks!

It is called Purple Theme - No Shoutbox.

I like the default theme with shoutbox so I just use that. Though I may change every couple of months, because I'm trying to get used to changes (I dislike any changes, which isn't exactly ideal, so I'm trying to train myself a bit I guess?).

Yeah, I like the default best, plus it's the one I customized the most ;p I didn't spend as much time on the others.. hehe

I will try to make a dark-themed one. Most don't even use different ones, so I haven't touched them in so long lol

There are some no frills ones in the theme library if you don't feel like making a whole new one.

Added one... the dark mode is black and white, but there is also a darker blue one.

The only issue is that the quick reply plugin is still showing as a white background, but when you quote and reply the other way it will be a dark background still.

Yeah, it wasn't showing a true dark mode one for me other than a blue one, so I made one ;p If I was a teenager/young adult, my forum would have been more like a dark mode. When I was in web design, that is all I did for my websites lol
