• Guest, the forum is undergoing some upgrades and so the usual themes will be unavailable for a few days. In the meantime, you can use the forum like normal. We'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the 2025 Survey »

Has the forum colours and layout changed totally with the upgrade? or is there somewhere I put it back to how it looked before? I’m really struggling to navigate and read it. It’s so pale and it’s just all merging in to one for me. I’ve tried the button on the bottom and tried the red and the mild but nothing changes. I really don’t like this, I don’t know what I’ve read and what I haven’t and which threads I’m following. Looks a bit cheap. Why the change?
 
Blue banner at the top, the rest is very pale.
And I keep getting the new user message about posting 3 times before I can add links. According to the profile info I am suddenly a newbie instead of a long term user.

Hi Tiggy - you're right, it looks like the profile only has 1 post. We'll investigate this.
In terms of the colours, the text should now be black. We're in the process of adding some additional themes to the forum which will enable a choice of colour schemes

It looks like the ‘other’ forum now - very disconcerting!

Also doesn’t show newly created threads as a separate list from latest posts - that was a helpful feature.

Others have replicated the platform that we use, so that is why it is similar. It's the same platform, just upgraded as the previous version was going to present a security risk from the next release.

In terms of customisation, we're happy to customise it however you wish! Please make suggestions and we'll do our best to bring them in.

In terms of colours - there are now 3 themes - default, UI.X and UI.X Dark - with the latter offering a dark mode.

We will update any remaining colours on Monday.
 
Thanks. The list of new threads would be good.

And a red option! Just tried all 3 of the current ones.
