Really don't like it, as I prefer dark themes, as white tends to hurt my eyes. Any chance of

an option to choose a dark theme?

It, uh, has a nice personality? ?

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

The forum theme change wasn't intentional. It's an unfortunate byproduct of a forum software update (see here: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/20010-it39s-alive33/&do=findComment&comment=438046). I'll have a look at installing a generic dark theme as an option while I work on importing and updating the old TDM theme to be compatible with the new forum version.

While Taaaki has mentioned he is looking into a dark theme. In the meantime I would recommend a chrome addon that Epifire turned me onto called "Darkreader". It turns light pages darker, so currently my forums look like this:

I've installed a dark / night theme. Just select it from the Theme list selector at the bottom of the page. Hopefully that acts as a reasonable stop-gap.

Thank you for letting us choose between a dark and a light theme. Great solution! :)

Thank you Taaki. I use Opera Goldwell, with Dark Theme, but it's not working well after the last update.

I love that darkloader Chrome extension. I'll not read my daily news the same way ever again!

And the dark/light switch for the forum works great too. This new forum seems super fast and has more options tho I can't really be specific about what I mean. I just "feel" it or something...

Is there a reason why the forum set all forum post likes to be anonymous?

 

Also any chance we could see the return of status updates?

I can't find any option to adjust forum likes.  I did turn status updates on, but I'm not sure where they appear now.  Still figuring out this new system.

It seems like you can click the Unread Content link on the right and choose Status Updates from Content Type picklist. But it's not as straightforward as it was before the upgrade.

Oh, okay, status updates just show up in the activity feed like regular posts, except that you can reply to them right from there.  Yeah, I prefer the old method, but I have no idea how to set things up that way.

The new dark theme is nice, but the text for where you are on the forum is a bit too dark. The one on the top that tells you what part of the forum you're browsing.

"My milkshake bringeth all ye gentlefolk to the yard. Verily 'tis better than thine, I would teach thee, but I must levy a fee."

"When Kleiner showed me the sky-line of New York I told him that man is like the coral insect—designed to build vast, beautiful, mineral things for the moon to delight in after he is dead."

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
