Was the forum "look" changed???

[SherryT]

All of a sudden, the background is dark gray (it's always been white) and the pages look COMPLETELY different..."I" made no changes in my preferences or anything, so what's up?

This is what it looks like now:

 

[SherryT]

I went to preferences and changed it back...just curious why it changed.

As you were.

 

[TNJAKE]

If you logged out it changes back to default view I think

 

[Smoke-Chem BBQ]

It also changed for me; not sure why. I also went into the preferences and changed it back to the 'classic' look

 

[SherryT]

See, that's the thing...I didn't log out (never do...I simply close the page).

I guess it was just one of those pesky little glitches that happens now and then.

I think you can change it at the bottom of the page where it says “and” (classic theme) your might have got changed to dark maybe? There are a few other options too

Chinese and Russian interference lol

That damned balloon did it...just took it a few days to propagate.

Mine did the same and I didn't log out . When that stuff happens I always look to see which Admins are on . My suspicions were confirmed . Lol .

I run the “dark” screen by choice. It’s easier on my eyes.

I'm the opposite...the dark mode (to me) don't present a clear definition between "sections/zones" of the screen (I don't know what they're called...frames?) and while it doesn't strain my eyes a lot, it does strain them.

Besides, I simply don't like the look...never have.

Thanks for bringing it up, Sherry. I don't like it dark gray either, but didn't know how to fix it! Now if I can just remember how to fix it when next it happens.

Completely understand.
When they gave us the new screen options, I think there were 3, white, tan, and dark. I played with them for a couple days, not happy with anything other than the original white screen, but then I moved over to the dark side. Each his own, I like choices.

I like the "brown" one...

I'm in dark mode and my phone is as well for other apps and stuff. When I show it to Emily though she says hard time seeing it

I am on a few forums and they are set up with ads if you dont pay. Now back on topic.

I dont know why it changed but I have mine set on dark. Well now you know how to change it anyway.

 

[Cody_Mack]

I like to have the choice, and I prefer the dark mode. But this pesky little reminder keeps hanging around and reminding, which is kind of annoying. Yes, I have subscribed multiple times and am receiving Jeff's newsletters. Any thoughts?

 

[SmokinAl]

I think the dark mode is the default mode. I didn’t like it at first, but I do now.

So sorry… I had to make a few changes and reset the default theme.

For some reason that causes the theme to change to default for everyone… seems pretty counterintuitive to me.

If you have any trouble setting that back to the way you like it, let me know, and I’ll be happy to help in anyway that I can.
