Dark mode is good but the colors for read and unread replies is too similar.

Yeah, I can't tell where I was on the page, could do with a tweak. Otherwise it really is amazing.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I have one critique of Dark Mode and that is that sometimes there's a weird flash of white when I'm loading a new page on the forums. It could just be a tech issue with my browser and thus unfixable but when it happens I feel like I just got flashed by lightning (and their junk is extremely gross).

That's the default colors before the css loads in. This also happens in light mode but since the defaults are extremely similar to the light mode css in that case it's barely noticeable.

I mean, ten years ago the place might’ve been bringing in double that. Who knows how much back when he paid people like Shmorky and Radium, and rented an office.

What seems like a lot of money to us may not be enough for a guy used to leasing a sports car and living in a $300k McMansion. :emo:

That's indeed a browser thing. If you're on Firefox, there's a couple of about :config settings you can look up to toggle to fix that.

I replied there but I'll post the summary here: I'll be able to start addressing this in about an hour, old attachments should still display fine, new ones won't appear correctly until it is addressed, and the new attachments have not been lost - it's just a display issue caused by the code not falling back gracefully enough. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I love Dark Mode, I have a feature request - Twitter detects when my system (OSX, if that matters) automatically switches to dark mode when the sun goes down and adjust accordingly. Some other random websites do this. Is it possible for SA to do it too?

Agreed completely, the dark mode looks great. Sorry if this was already acknowledged, but I also wanted to ask for a "use system color scheme" setting. The browser can indicate that the user prefers a light or dark theme with prefers-color-scheme.

Make sure to test that you can actually restore from those backups you've taken, or this thread could become a self-own.

That was how we got the data to the new database servers in the first place. :)

But, yes, testing that your backups actually can be restored is a very important step in having a backup.

What plans do the forums have for moving towards a 4-day posting week?

Also can they be more dead and/or gay?

SniperWoreConverse posted:

The deadness and gayness of the forums are strictly interrelated and so if you lower deadness by adding new users or even additional posts it is inevitable that the forums must become more gay to compensate.

forums revenue is something i never expected but i enjoy the transparency a bunch. im both surprised and confused that the forums arent constantly running in the red, but i guess the gaslighting from lowtax will do that for ya

e2: i enjoy the black/grey/blue color palette a bunch. for whatever reason I expected it to be black and shades of grey/white. this gives me mid 2000s vibes but in all the good ways.
