AND Night theme is winning! Aka make text color auto format

actually, the people who didn't know about night theme would be day theme users, ergo it's almost 50/50 but who cares eh. 

Yours faithfully

Some updates are going to be released to the forum in a few weeks, and to help me make the finishing touches I would appreciate it if you could answer a few questions about how you use the forum.

If you have any suggestions of ways to improve the look and feel of the site, feel free to leave them here. However, please don't post bug reports here - please instead make a topic in Bugs and Issues so that they can get the attention that they need.

please, make it wider.

I don't need 4" of black bars on each side D: 

also, making status update from the mobile version could be improoved, as in, it requires you to go to your user page to do an update unlike on the desktop version.

 

Like,between the "account, community, activity, store" and the "mark this site read"  there could be a button labled "update status"  and it could pop up either a window or just some other page.

The reason for that question is to find out how hard to discover the theme switcher is, to which it appears the answer is fairly. In the upcoming update, I'm hoping to improve that by moving it to the user dropdown menu.

i still feel thats as hard to find as the current system why not on account creation you just ask what theme they want

I just noticed that pin thing. How could I have missed it all this time?

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special. -_-

I think having it in a drop down menu makes sense. It's closer to somewhere you'd look for a "setting" tab.

Asking upon creation, eh. It still needs to be somewhere so it can be changed if needed.

Until very recently, I never knew there was a dark theme, and I didn't know how to change it. But it's like a billion times better for me as I tend to hate bright websites. (AKA, 90% of the web.)

been here for years and never knew what that pin in the corner was for, and never bothered to click on it

 

edit: after clicking it on and off a few times, i still have no idea what it does

When you scroll, it keeps the navigation bar in view.

It seems like google chrome is a common web browser used by people on the forums by looking at the vote counts.

I wouldn't put Chrome on my computer if you paid me, but I had to select that option because they bundled Opera with it.

right but not many sites have the feature if you don't know it exists you're not going to look for it

Why not? It's pretty good in my opinion.

I dont pin the nav bar because I never use it other than when I open the site, and then I am at the top of the page anyway.

Every time I logged in, the Pin is always orange, so I assume that was just a design of the website and serves no function. Now that you mentioned it, I click to unpin and turned black. I don't see any difference between pin and unpin. I'm currently using Internet Explorer 11

I sure can't find this pin.  Then again, current laptop I am on strips a lot of scripts away and images.

I have to click on words for agree, funny, etc.  That how much this browser setup on this laptop strips off.

so 

rip "Reply to this topic" button?

you shall not be missed?

The real issue with it is with any post of a sizable size it becomes stupidly large as a quote. It is easier than scrolling to the bottom tho.

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

BTW, is there any ways to add custom reactions to the stock one in Invision 4.2? I've used it on other forums, and it's not very detailed. Like, thanks, haha and angry.

 

Its not supposed to be detailed. If you need to use more details, you can, you know, post.

There kinda is. Though its probably running about same version than live. Let me check.... Yup, looks to be about same.

Its about pinning top bar. The one with profile dropdown, notifications and PMs. Mainly.

 

Imo top nav bar could keep pin market as option whole time. Even if it would hide in left side dropdown menu while in scrolled.
