As of this message, the site software has been updated to a relatively major new version. Please report any issues that might appear to have started as of this update.

NOTE: I am aware that focus of the cursor within the QUICK REPLY / REPLY text boxes is occasionally getting lost while typing a response in a thread. I've reproduced this on Chrome for Mac. Would love feedback if you're seeing this and whether it was consistent prior to this message.
 
Dark Mode has been slightly changed. It's in the footer and up near your name. Look for the circle/sun/moon icon.

I might be blind but I can not find the dark mode option now. I am looking for any icon near the footer or name and there is nothing. Ive looked on both my phone and computer and dont see. This is on a PC and android using chrome.

Also the main page isnt changing colors to show unread messages in the forums. Only once you click on the forum do you see it changed colors for threads with unread messages.

I’ll look at the second one when I can. Here’s a screenshot of the theme setting on mobile:

Yeah, I dont show that icon. I have the customize button next to it. I also dont have the sheet looking one next to it. I have 4 icons, you have 6 on your picture. As far as the second part goes I was wrong. It changes to slightly purple now I didnt notice at first.
 
On PC it looks like this. Also, check in the footer, do you see an art brush in the lower left? Curious what displays on that line?

Had an idea. What about now?

If that works, I’ll have to fix everyone else that may have had dark mode prior as well.
 
Is it harder for anyone else to easily tell which threads have new post in them? Felt like before the update it was very clear, but now they all look pretty similar.
 
The thumbs-up (and down) seems awfully...uh...thumbsy now. Weird.

Especially in dark mode on mobile. Nearly identical since all it can do is bold, it can't really change color or anything on dark mode.
 
Am I the only one getting huge white squares on the top and bottom of each page? I am also seeing somewhat significant slowdown (read: enough to notice and sometimes mess up typing posts) when ads reload. Not sure if anything can be done about it, but it is a bit irritating.

Same to all you mentioned

And I understand the need for ads, but since the update it is feeling like 50% of my screen at times is covered from top bar and bottom bar ads where this didn't feel nearly as invasive before. It has personally turned me off the site recently where I almost immediately sign off after accessing it on my phone because of the increasing pain points added.

Yeah I switched back to normal mode and it's fine. I prefer dark mode, but it's annoying not being able to see what has new post.
