Before anyone changes try dark mode, the print is easier to read. There isn't any duplicate photos on the ones my phone actually shows (happens on all sites)  :dunno:.

Trying to figure out where people are switching modes around and where dark mode is to begin with. I think this new one would look nice in a dark mode.

Top of main page there is a moon symbol. Click on it for dark mode.

Sorry to hear that. Are you on Sunrise or Shelflife ? At any rate you shouldn't have to login everytime.

Switched back to Shelf-Life, looks better and more MT related. Sunrise felt... try-hard modern IMO and less intuitive.

Nix, if you're having to log in every time try clearing your cache and cookies, you'll have to log in again, but hopefully it'll keep you logged in then.

BEWARE you'll probably have to sign into every site on that device once after you do this.

The person with a + symbol at the top is the recent unread threads :cheers:

Once you figure out what the symbols are (you can hover over them with a mouse and the text will appear ;) ) this theme becomes second nature  :cheers:

I hope most of you give it a chance because it is way less broken than Shelflife :ahhh

Also not sure why Nix is having to log in every time :think:

The only time I have to re-log in is when I accidentally hit the log out button :whistle: :facepalm: :D

I got a new look when I meandered over today, only to have the old take over after I logged in. Whatever the case, I'll adapt to it.

Been on dark mode on my phone for a while now, so that I'm actually pleased with the change, now.

That's great to find that one out, Poncho, thanks.

OK, I managed to go to the original format :)    That was a scary few minutes. Let me now tell you how cool XP was, though not as cool as PCDOS or even MSDOS

Note, the main point of changing the default is spambots trying to abuse shelf life flaws, causing massive error logs, but no actual damage. We are being hit pretty hard the past week or two with our weekly average number of spambots hitting us daily.

As mentioned, I didn't remove shelf life as I knew many of you would not like the change, but I do hope more of you will stick it out as it really is great on mobile devices.

Yes there is a bit of a learning curve, but most features are still there... Maybe just a little more compact. Most of the icons are standard used on many apps already, so should be familiar.
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Change is a constant, as us old farts keep being told... but the pace isn't constant, it's ramping up :ahhh

Anyway, I've had this for a while now and can't complain.

Dark mode made it tolerable, except that on a PC the font within posts was smaller.  Quotes shown in a post had very small font.  If that can be changed within the layout, I'd use the new layout.  If I have to zoom with my browser every time I check in, I'm staying with shelf life.

If you use Chrome it's easy to increase font size by zooming out to 110 or 120 %   it will remember for whatever website you are on so you don't have to do it every time you visit. Firefox may have the same feature. Edge I'm not sure about but I would imagine it will as well.

I got scared today, when I got to the site and everything was out of place and weird looking. Luckily, once I logged in, it got back to the normal look.

I'll stick with it.  I changed to dark mode and it really added to my experience.  A few things are "out of place" but that is to be expected. 

Great thing, if you decided its not for you, change back.  Give it a spin.

Also, sunrise has a one button dark mode... that makes it totally worth it in my books.
The dark button mode is AWESOME!

Thanks for the info, Adam.  Think I've about got it sourced out.  All I had to do was to re add the page in my bookmarks,  still it only takes me to the tool talk page where I have to select "general tool discussion".

I only wish that it would show the un-read topics only.  I'm having a terrible time trying to distinguish between what's been read and what hasn't.

Thanks. Tried that, to no good effect. Still have to sign in every time. And, before you ask, yes, I did check the "stay logged in" option.   :rofl:

Not only do I have to log in every time, I find that I usually have to try logging in twice.....makes no sense to me.

I'm curious to see that my machine 'suggests' a password when I go to log in, as if I don't already have a password....
