Old Look- what do we tweak in setting to get the old forum look back
- Thread starter hermosabeach

Yeah that and the navigation is slow due to the options missing like 1J mentioned but Frank said be patient for a day or so. No biggie, just glad it's readable!
The Roboto Condensed used here and there (but most egregiously, on the new topics lists) has got to go. Condensed faces are hard to read, and this is a big thing to scan through.
Just make it the default, the Source Sans.
ETA: No opinion on rest of style. It's... fine. I prefer dark modes (officially: https://www.4ourthmobile.com/publications/dark-isnt-just-a-mode) but don't care about anything but the readability.

...And just like that, things changed again. 
Edit: the dark earth is a good color and using extra large font on a phone makes it readable.

The lower navigation is there,
It's just dropped down a bit lower and if you are scrolling to navigate you will see ^ Arrows ^ on the lower right side to navigate
I am exploring the other options and it looks like adding an image to the lighter colors makes it a bit better
The wolf grey dark is nice, I am getting used to that one,
But explore the options, there should be enough to satisfy everyone if we need some minor changes let me know and we can address them
But most of it looks fine to me

Well, I liked the nice fresh look of the forum, now it's just...back to the same-same old. The dark color scheme was better, because it was not simply white on black, but white on dark blue.
Bring back the newest-older site!!

Use the drop-down experiment with which one works,
There should be 4 options to choose from, I see something like 6, but you all should have 4 variations
Interesting, Frank. With font set to "large" I had only three options. Put font on "medium" and up comes the one I like the best. And then, from there, I can make the font large and still retain the look.
Thanks for the upgrades, Frank. All back to normal for me with the traditional light background dark text.
Only quirk I see is that the buttons in some situations are White on White making them hard to see.
Hard to read that it says "Mark Forums Read". Another example below.

This is the version I like the best, I actually changed my old one, for this one, it's my favorite so far
I guess it’s more of what I’m used too. I’m sure I would get used to it but I’ll keep the darker just because of my mild OCD and lack of willingness for change. Lol.
Frank, here's a screenshot for you when it comes time to tweak a little. It's difficult to pick out the read threads because the bold and unbold are not that different. Or maybe it's my eyes but the old view was easier. In this pic the only read one is 4th down, it's this very thread.
Snipers Hide Dark with large font looks bitchin to me. The new font is way better
Thanks Frank...
Thanks Frank...
Would love to get the old theme back as an option. Very hard to read with the eye and see read vs new threads
Im still trying to get familiar with the new changes. Some I like and some old features I miss. Two big ones are having the notifications on the top of the screen and have the ability to hit the subforum group to go back one level. From The Bear Pit back to the team room. Right now, the only way Ive found is either the back button or use the three lines (top left) and goto "forums". I found it in the dark version. I always used white background before the changes.
It may be just a setting on my end and Im not complaining but trying to give feedback and what Im missing.
And my font didnt seem to change size on white or dark settings.

Put me down as another fan of the old theme. It felt easier to read and to navigate.
Permit me to add that the white-characters-on-dark-background options are a bitch for old eyes.

I can't tell that there's much of a difference when viewing from the phone.
Of course that's all I use now so....
BTW it's a dark background with white lettering.

I would rather you leave than to deal with complete fools and ignorance every day
You have the same access to move in both directions, Team Room, Bear Pit, it's all the same
Same damn notifications at the top, in roughly the same place,
Arrows on the side to bring you to top,
The Light theme that will match this one will be here soon with dark text on a white back. But Dark Themes are more desirable right now
I think you whiners should log out or something I normally don't do, I will delete accounts on request for the rest of the week

Looks fine on the mobile phone. But like I said, I don't know if there's anything different from the past years.
That is the old Tactical Theme, which nothing there changed except maybe a font,
The Tactical Themes will be retired when the new Home page arrives,
The new Themes, as I posted are necessary to blend the two sides and take advantage of the features.
The Tactical Theme has the images in the background and the raised blocks with the beveling, that theme, Light, Dark, Earth will be gone.
Once they finish the front you just have a light and dark of the new theme, two choices that is it,
You do know you can change themes with a click down at the lower-left corner to experiment with different ones right

Frank,
Yes, I saw (and used) the button on the lower left. Convenient.
As I said, I was stating a preference; NOT making a complaint. We all know how hard you work to keep this forum going. If the new look is what we get, it's what we all will use.
Cheers, Richard
