I like it, but just like what I have seen with the Summoner's Rift update, its waaay too dark- use more white backgrounds for the text like how the forums are now with the black text font----

P.S. brighten up the summoner's rift update and make it more colourful and cheerful, it is a magical forest after all- regardless of it being a battlefield in game

the brighter looks just make things easier to look at

Black text on white background is notoriously hard to read on-screen, especially in a dark environment. There's a reason most coding interfaces are dark with bright letters. Bright things stick out better on dark backgrounds compared to dark things on bright backgrounds. Less eye strain all around; there's a reason a lot of people on GD use the GDNight Theme via the FEK mod. (The GDNight theme:) http://puu.sh/a7OJv/784af94d62.png

Trust me on this one, this color palette is good for your eyes.

I would like a slightly bigger font, though

"This color pallet is good for your eyes" ^^^ That's why I think they should keep it. Sure some people like the previous theme, but browsing the forums shouldn't cause your eyes and brain pain just for the sake of "looking nice"

it's much more than just theme. For avis, post a pic you want in the thread i linked, it has to be under 500kb afaik.

I like the colors, I like the no reply limit. I love the enhanced editing abilities.

The only thing I am not a fan of is the whole downvote/upvote system. I feel they influence reader opinions too much, and everyone downvotes differently. Some people downvote for disagreeing, some downvote for asking a question, some downvote without even reading. Rarely is a downvote because a post is actually off topic or in need of moderation.

I'd rather have downvotes either invisible (but topic still closes after a certain amount), or have votes altogether invisible (but upvoted topics still reach the front). Perhaps you could see your own vote in the form of a green check or red X next to a post. Still, the new forum is a lot easier to read, and I think it's an improvement overall!

Try switching to "chronological view" under the OP. This will turn things into a standard post-by-post thread. The upvotes and downvotes aren't really relevant in that view and you can look at the conversation in the order it's happened.

I switch back and forth to see what feedback or subject is getting traction but I also like viewing the chronological order to have a conversation.

Ok, that's an interesting solution. I'll give it a go and see how it works, thanks for showing me the radiant light! :)

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to up/down vote also it's hard to follow because you don't know who's responding to who from the reddit style interface.

This still looks exactly the same. It's Leddit.

Would like the option to switch between dark/light theme.

haha, that's exactly why i like this dark theme! (forum and game vu)

Stacona1 votes

the best solution that i read is giving an option to user either light on dark or dark on light
