I like it too, but I got flashbanged.
I had the old forum still opened refreshed it and got blinded for a moment from the shock.


Anyway, dark mode please? :)

Yes, please!!

The dark mode for the GUI is planned in 25.1 (and can already be previewed in the development version).

Someone already asked for a docs dark mode.  We will consider but need to get a few more things in order first.

BTW, SMF underneath was updated too.



Thanks,
Franco

...with no karma anymore?

[franco]

Looks like a no by default... https://github.com/live627/smf-karma

Not that attached to karma these days.  Back when we started my only concern was that nobody should be able to downvote others, but that was an easy fix.


Cheers,

Wuuu GUI dark mode, Awesome many thanks in advance!
Also yes dark mode for docs as well would be awesome. Nothing against the new design of the docs or forum (I like it) but is too flashy for us mole people. I personaly use a FF addon to over come it for now "Dark Reader" it works well but sometimes it looks just weird.

I always thought of karma as a thank you to someone for the good will and efford

And yes IPV6 forum working :)

As always many thanks for all the work you people at OPN do.

S.

I don't share everyone's happiness.
The new design is certainly good, but large controls (buttons) with small font of the main text topics, huge incomprehensible indents and empty spaces - I do not understand it. What's it for?

Yeah, plus the gigantic banner image on the index pages... Maybe everyone else is running 4k monitors nowadays, but I have to scroll to even see the first post in a forum on my antique "1080p" screen, due to all the wasted space at the top of the page....

Agreed - it also doesn't work very well on mobile for these reasons - far too much padding I think. Hopefully things that can be tweaked?

Then I really sympathize with them, it's shallow on 1080p, and on 4k you won't be able to see anything at all).

I felt that mobile (phone) viewing is improved.  I wasn't able to navigate previously without zooming in, but now it's possible.

The post editor also seems to have got a nice facelift, though I can't find the smileys menu and emojis don't seem to be recognized.  I won't speculate on whether that's a bug or a feature ;-)

I'm not thrilled about the dominant gray tones.  I get what you're doing with the contrasting red accents, though, and brand identity.

One bug I noticed: when I went to preview this post, I was warned that 2 new posts had been added but I wasn't able to view those even after hitting 'preview' again from the editor view.  I think that was working before (?)

[passeri]

The new design looks OK, though a bit pale, with too much whitespace or white, space. I have never been a fan of sans-serif fonts for body text but the world is not with me on that. Looking forward to dark mode, hoping for more clarity in a quieter view.

My usual process here is to go to unread topics, pick out those in which I am interested in new tabs, and mark all the rest as Read. However, on clicking the button to do that I am asked in a dialog whether I am sure? Yes. I am. I've been doing it for years and would very much like to continue, thank you. Please get rid of this, or provide the option to avoid it.
