Title: Forum Themes gone?
Post by: Big Crouton on March 31, 2011, 12:19:16 PM
I used to use the black and yellow theme, and when I signed in to day it was just black and gray, with no way of changing it in my account settings.  Is it just me, or did this happen to everyone?

Same here. I need my light theme because black is so ugly for forums.

White text on dark screen is absolutely the most awful thing ever.  Hurts my eyes.

This. Black on white (oo-err missus) is lovely. Like a book. Or a word document. Or anything else that isn't horrifically depressing. Although, admittedly, it's easier to discern where multi-quotes start and finish on this skin.

There seems to be some sort of technical glitch which the other guys are trying to sort out, should hopefully be worked out soon.

They change the forum theme every year, so that's no surprise. :p

Also yeah default sucks I hate the grey on black text. It doesn't help my vision sucks to begin with and I was having trouble reading the other themes anyways.  :lol

The only downfall of this default theme is when I change from DTF to Facebook while all of my lights are off.

Seriously though, I don't like the other one very much, I've always used the white font on black background one.  :huh:

Nothing can top the Star Wars one, that was probably one of the funnest April Fools events I've seen on any forum ever.

Should be working now, you should just reselect your theme. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh wow the light blue theme or whatever reminds me of DTF before the forum crash. Like, it even has the stars instead of the bars.

Gray on black background is far easier on my eyes than black on white.  I set all my editors to gray on black to reduce the eye strain I can get from staring at screens every day.
Title: Re: Forum Themes gone?

It literally hurts my eyes to use the light themes on most websites so i'm using the dark ones.  :P

Yeah, the dark theme is pretty awful on the ol' rods and cones.

I switched to the light theme for a while.  Ended up making the eye strain even worse.  Dark theme FTW

Post by: Gadough on March 31, 2011, 05:29:19 PM
Hmm, odd. I also use the yellow-text theme, and nothing has changed for me. I hope it doesn't, because I've gotten so used to this theme by now. I can't stand the default gray text.

Yup, because staring at a bright white LCD screen in a pitch black room is exactly the same as reading some dull white pieces of paper.

And turn on your lights.
Title: Re: Forum Themes gone?
Post by: glaurung on March 31, 2011, 05:45:15 PM
Or you could just use the dark theme so you're not staring into what is essentially a big white light bulb.
Title: Re: Forum Themes gone?
Post by: sonatafanica on March 31, 2011, 05:47:06 PM
god dammit, almost every website out there has a white theme or background, why is it only bad when it's on dtf  :lol
Title: Re: Forum Themes gone?
Post by: MetalManiac666 on March 31, 2011, 05:48:04 PM
Because I don't spend hours on end reading other websites.

Closer to using Microsoft Word. Or Facebook. Both of which I spend ages on, and neither of which have yet been scorched into my retinae.
