    Do you want this dark theme?

    Side bet: I don't think that 30 people still checking in on this site will vote in the poll.
    (I would love to be wrong on this)

    Yes, I want to keep the dark theme, because I'm a psychopath

    It's not just the dark.
    It's the relative size of the fonts (message text should be larger font size, message text should be a larger proportion of the screen).

    e.g. "Dewey Cox" or "RangeBob" is less important than what they say - yet the username is a larger font and occupies more space than is needed.

      I would've voted but could not as I wanted to choose all 3 choices, because I'm not from the dark side, but I am a psychopath [I mean you can see my avatar] who wants choice.

          Let the people decide what is goodest for them. It is the 21st century - this should be easy.

            I believe in choice. Another site I belong to gives users the option to live in the light or stay in the dark.

              I agree the font should be larger - I'm 75 with 'new C-lenses and still can't read it well. Plus the contrast with dark back and 'gray font' is POOR.
              However, this is my first login for a few weeks, been away. I do like the new format aside from this visual issue. And I just posted my New2Me Stevens-66 in Rimfires, w-pics.

                I completely agree. It's why i have been purposefully setting my font one size bigger.

                I prefer dark modes and everything I do on any computer at home or work is in dark mode with medium grey-green background (a little lighter than GOC's background) with white text. My eyes find it a lot easier and less tiring, so when I end up with a 'standard' light mode it hurts physically. You can actually go into settings and change it, BTW.

                Also, there needs to be footer signature limits. 90-95% of M1917 Enfield's posts I can find for the footer signature. Footer signatures that big should be considered spam.

                Anyone who screams 'FREEDOM' but does not give it, especially freedom from something someone else has freedom of, they are the true traitors to all freedom: they don't want freedom, they want privilege, they want to abuse, they want to violate... and they want to do it with impunity.

                  I wanted to select the keep it option but I could not due to not being a psychopath. Extensive testing showed that I am capable of empathy.

                  It is just not my default mode apparently.
