can you put a mode toggle somewhere like maybe under the forums nav dropdown at the bottom of the page or something? it's v tedious to change mode by going through the control panel on mobile and my geriatric eyeballs cannot discern anything while outside of my cave habitat

also include extra modes for powerusers like darkroom mode or hot dog mode

also dark mode fucks up so many smiles and tags lol

i still think there should be a breaking news chyron that just shows the first few hundred characters of the most recent post in any forum with absolutely no context whatsoever.

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

Also can they be more dead and/or gay?

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.

I for one welcome our new homoerotic overlords

They still have their API so you can upload poo poo via ShareX on desktop (or probably like 20 different mobile apps) and hotlink it here without ever having to so much as see their website. If they start putting the screws on that, then yeah, it's a good time to panic.

yeah i was gonna say even the program i use to make xcom clips is able to hook in and upload them anonymously, and then vomit back the url i need to post

there is a weird situation where doing it through that can sometimes produce urls like ABCD123h.gifv and there is a set of terminating characters that form thumbnails, lowercase h is for huge and if you don't manually cut that one off it won't load when you go to preview posts. Also it seems to arbitrarily fail for no known reason sometimes? It gives an error in programmer speak that I can't understand.

it's not super optimal because it's still a host that's not by goons for goons™ or whatever and they could go out of business or something, but I think it should be completely possible for you to be able to click "insert pic" and your browser asks for the file, and then it uploads it to imgur for you, and then it loads the url into the post. I know this kind of stuff already works on other forums but not the details of how it works :shrug:. I think there are other hosts that let you do the same thing.
