[Aphid Attraction]

Ok please don’t ruin the thread by talking about the wrong topic, but we need an OT thread.

We need somewhere to discuss the forum changes, at least. Is there a post somewhere that describes all the changes? Nobody has posted in News & Announcements since 2020.

The "Ignore Thread" feature seems to be lost.

Empire Strikes Back was the best of them by far

 

[Josepho]

the old forum was FINE.

unnecessary.

 

[tradervik]

The old site was borderline unusable on my phone. However, we need to wait and see if they stuff the new full of ads and bad javascript.

Everything feels so small. So much wasted space. Zooming in to 125% feels better, but also makes me feel like I'm 60.

 

[Grub]

The new site is not that bad.

Dark mode finally, might actually start hanging around here more again

[Melvin]

I'm old, how do you change to dark mode?

I am also old and would like to know.

I figured it out. Scroll to the very bottom of the page. Above the HFBOARDS logo (left side) there is a little blue box that says HF LIGHT DEFAULT. Click the box and it should give you the option to got to HF Dark.

Thanks! I think this saved my eyes from blindness!

All the young 'uns figured it out on their own. Us old people are left to wander aimlessly...

new site is ugly

It feels so old.

It feels so old.

i actually think it is incredibly modern, with the caveat that a boomer designed it

 

[Melvin]

The red looks horrible in dark mode. I get that red is the sites color, but that limitation of needing to use the red makes dark mode almost unusable.

They should change the site header to a photo collage of memes, and then also make a typo in a word that will change it to another word.

This is the perfect description. Then again, forums are old internet anyway.

I've always struggled to read red and I hadn't noticed how difficult it was to read people's forum names until you just mentioned it. I've always just used the default scheme but the white on the new site was way too much for my increasingly aging eyes to handle.

Yeah, I have some colourblindness and the quoted name in red on grey is unreadable right now.

Not sure how bad it is for people with typical colour vision.

I'm not colour blind, red words just tend to be blurry unless it's a very dark red on a good contrasting background. Same problem with yellow on white. My eyes are weird and have been since I was 13.

This really only applies when quoting someone, though. The Red on light grey for usernames is fine.
