Does anyone else feel like they're in the Matrix? That's what dark mode reminds me of.

I believe I fixed that bug; it's just a matter of safely merging the code over. Hopefully it is corrected soon.

Thank you thank you thank you for dark mode. I set the background color of every application I can and even wear sunglasses at work 8-) because the fluorescent lights overhead give me headaches.

If it helps, I see light mode mostly when I click the home button. Firefox 49, old I know but I need it for work. Another click always returns me to dark mode. And home!

That’s an important observation. Someone should fix that.

A completely unrelated note, but bo's "introducing dark mode" is now only one +1 under jmo's "introducing chaos" post.

Interesting. I was under the impression it was caused via external links. Maybe it had something to do with the SSL path.

Possibly useful information:

Following the link from viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1853 in the top post triggered the bug for me yesterday (Windows laptop, chrome), and again today (iPad, Safari), the first time I followed it on each device. Subsequent clicks on the link have been dark mode.

Yeah, we’re working on narrowing that down. I think I have a good idea of what is going on but fixing it will be tough. Any pattern regardless of how insignificant it seems (browser, device, how you’re navigating the site, etc) could be useful.

Thanks for dark mode, it's great!

Occasionally, I get a page rendered in light mode instead (which goes dark when I refresh it). For example, it just happened when I followed a link from the forum to a game. There's no obvious pattern to it, so it could be a nightmare to debug, but I thought I'd mention it just in case it's fixable.

The icons on the forum are gif files and outside of the realm of things I know how to change, so I don't know that they can be changed. Emc's changes to the forum icons will be live soon, but I do not believe that the new icons will be very different from the old ones. They'll be much cleaner in dark mode, though.

Loving the new dark mode!

One small request: could you make the 'unread post' icon stand out more? It's the one beside the post #.

The standard mode has a red paper icon for unread posts that changes to grey after you see it. I find the white paper icon in dark mode gets a bit lost in the background.

I see, okay. Thanks anyway.

Russia was the bane of my existence throughout this redesign, so it's gonna stay as is unless you have a specific hex code in mind. Brightening it further makes it very similar to England, and changing England is impractical for a number of reasons.

Loved it! Russia can be brightened too.
