Some feedback regarding the new dark (=black) theme. Changes like new threads, replies, new messages, et. al are difficult to spot in all this darkness. In my case, usability of the whole forum is heavily limited by this factor. In fact, one of the two main reasons I prefer coming here over sgi sh is precisely its light theme by default. For me, this lightness means positiveness, optimism, it promotes cooperation and sharing, coming together without fear and offering an environment where no one has to hide. Contrast this to a dark theme.

There is actually a whole branch of psychology that studies influence of colors on human behaviour, and black is not precisely associated to "positive" meanings among a majority of people. In that sense, please keep some form of light theme. It's actually very important, at least to me.


Thank you and keep on doing this great job, you are doing really well.

You still have two other choices of theme. I appreciate the information on how you feel regarding this. Just go into UserCP and you can switch back to the theme that you're most comfortable with. We will be eventually offering palette swaps, but this isn't magically possible so it will take some time to get right. I have been making a list of people to message and ping when we got something though!

Updated BootBB with the latest version from the vendor. (The stop-gap light theme)

Also added the bit that gives you your location. if there's any bugs, let me know.

You can switch back to BootBB in UserCP if you prefer a light theme.
