If a user chooses their own font/color in there sig or post, nothing can be done about that.

There was a time many years ago it was “funny” to write up a post all in white letters so it looked blank on the white background.

Cool people use the light theme anyhow

For the dark theme, can we get the background or post boxes color changed slightly to have more contrast? With a smaller screen, the post box blends into the background making it more difficult to differentiate the two. Maybe lighten the background a little?

one more observation, looks like content choreography may be off for larger screens. mine is currently set to 1920×1080 and the site only fills out the middle of the screen and doesn't adapt to the width well.

I tried the dark theme to see what the fuss was all about, you guys can have it. Harder on my eyes for some reason

And you guys are a bunch of cry babies, round vs square avatars? Who FN cares :ROFLMAO:

Overall I am digging the new site. It is a major improvement over what we had in terms of user friendliness. I really am enjoying the square/rounded corners avatars as well as how fluid the site works. Keep up the good work guys!

thats all i use, looks well placed on my side. if you have been messing with setting on your phone, it will affect both.

Where did albums go? I have pictures in my for sale thread that are gone that were from my album

that would have been uploaded in your "garage" and is part of the showcase issue we are working on. the amount of pictures that had to be moved was huge and now getting it all to play nice is the fun part.

So far the new website is badass! I love the dark theme personally it is softer on my eyes especially when the old lady is asleep and I want to read some threads lol. You guys are doing an awesome job and I really appreciate it!
