Whoa. 

Get rid of the light gray fonts that  are still here and there and I’m onboard with it. 

I just jumped threads and was like holy shit! Looking good.

This, right now it’s kinda hurting my eyes.  The dark break between the light posts..

palabra.  

will give it a go but i think i’ll be sticking with the default theme.

I liked the burnt orange & white background better than this dark one.  If you do make this new one permanent, would it be possible to make the old one optional?

Is that a option, if so how?  It really is killing my eyes for some reason.

It is.  Go to "Theme" drop down at the bottom of the home page.  Choose default for the old, etc.

 

The new one looks nice, but the default seems easier to read in the final analysis.

you can change the theme from any page, but yea what twicehorn said.  bottom left corner. 

it’s hard to locate the “new content begins here” marker too. the gray blends too close to the black to where i can barely see the tiny white letters.

The activity button moved from center left to upper right corner. I had to look around for it too

Change everything that is dark grey to the burnt orange or white and i think that will smooth over the jarring visuals for some

i liked it, but it felt hard on the eyes. 

it looks very sharp, though. wish we could get something similar to that one the dark chrome theme.

Constructive criticism: the contrast between the background and the content areas is too strong. Also, horizontal separators that match the starkly contrasted background making the main content area feel disjointed.

i'd vote meh. hard on eyes and not sure why

i spent a whole 3 weeks getting used to the new shit!?!

Just figured out you can change picture also....nice touch

 

And yeah what ndawg said was kinda my jist 

It ties the room together nicely.

I don't get the point of the background picture, since you can barely see it.  (Unless it's intentionally obscured to keep the lawyers away). 

And the dark stripes between posts gave me a seizure while scrolling too fast.

edit: i'm using a laptop

Let us know when you fix imgur.

 

 

 

JK... Looks pretty good to me on my Palm Treo.

Need to digest.  I thought I had gone to the wrong place at first.

updated background so the break between posts isn't as bad

Yes this is better

Looks rough on my iPhone 8+, but it has potential

But seriously fix the imgur thing.

Horizontal separators between posts are really distracting. Can you make that a much lighter gray or an opaque burnt orange?

Now if you can make the bar on top of each "home" page burnt orange and the squares of pages on threads i think it will be a homerun 

On mobile fyi...just reminding again in case its different
