Welcome! Thank you for the feedback. I believe using the tapatalk should alow you to change this. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to have a light/dark version of the site with the forum aoftware we use.

Thank you, @GratefulPoke for your response. I primarily access the site on my computer and really like the dark background, but also find the orange text difficult to read. Is it possible to keep the thread titles in orange but update the actual thread text to white? I think that might help with eye strain. If it is possible, I obviously don't speak for everyone, so maybe a poll would to help decide what to use.

I would second this. I don't mind the dark background, but the orange text bothers my eyes. I would greatly prefer white text as the primary color for posts. I'm not that familiar with XenForo software. Maybe I have the option to change the color and I'm just missing it.
Thank you for your feedback. I will pose this question to our patreon supporters and see what their preferences are.
It appears there is a feature where I can create a second, toggle-able theme. I hope to get that up this weekend.

I have created a light version of the site. It can be toggled to at the bottom of any page by clicking on the paint brush:
It is a work in progress, let me know what you think!

It looks good! The black text on the white background is much easier on the eyes.
Thanks for doing this. I hope it didn't create a lot of work for you.
Thank you! Im glad you were enjoying it! Once I figured out that it could be done, it wasnt too bad.
Thank you so much, I am digging the Light Theme!

Thank you! Greatly appreciate your efforts. The light theme is much easier on the eyes.
After trying the light theme, I’ve decided that I like the dark theme better. It’s easier on the eyes.
Another issue I don’t like has to do with h the Alerts. I start at the oldest alert and work my way to the top. After I read the first one and reload the list it indicates that I have already read others on the list that I haven’t read. For example, in the photo, I have not read the first one yet.
That is normal function for the alert system and cannot be adjusted. The alerts should still be there to click through though and it appears it is based on your screenshot.
I don’t remember OP showing that I had viewed a post in the alerts until I had actually read it.
Why was my post removed in the Gavin Newsom thread? @GratefulPoke
1) This thread is for technial issues regarding site theme/format changes. In the future, please atart a new thread.
2) i didnt remove any of your posts last night, nor do I see a history of a post being removed.
