The forum

[watchweasol]

Hello and good morning,  Just to say I find the new background a lot easier and not so hard on the eyes. brilliant. And as regards the moving question which Mark quite rightly nipped in the bud, I think Old Hippys suggestion  is probaby the right one. One cannot please every one but as said a compromise has to be found and informing the member his post was moved and why is a good compromise.  I am sure that we all have faith in our Administrator and moderaters to find the solution and continue to provide a brilliant forum which is open minded and informative.     Thank you Gentlemen your work is appreciated.

Love the new background, tranquil, pretty and easier to read.

Many thanks Mark.

Same here.  Easier on my eyes.  I'm grateful.

Well I think its safe to say a resounding sucess regarding the colour scheme.  A cracking idea to change it.

At first I thought it was my P C playing silly buggers until I was assured the colour had been changed. It is very pleasing on my eyes. Ever since laser treatment on my eyes they are very sensitive.

Bravo! thank-you for fixing this. Black characters on a stark white background is one of my triggers.

Hate to disagree. Maybe I'll become immune to the new scheme but I'd at least like the option to view things the way they were (or set up my own scheme). The problem with custom schemes is that once you customize it and you have a question, it's impossible for anyone to say: press the gold button on the lower right.

I wasn't aware that there was the ability to change the THEME from light to dark. The toggle is in the middle of the b0ttom of the page. Mine was changed to DARK over night. By changing it back to LIGHT things look normal again.

I suppose that as a grumpy old man I hate change but hopefully eveyone will know about the ability to change themes!

First thing when I wake up is to go to the NYT Wordle site (black and white) and then I turn down the illumination on my ipad (my eyes can't take it that early in the morning).  Then I go to this forum...I think my eyes will be happy.  Can somebody talk to NYT?  Maybe change their color scheme.

 LittleWatchShop: There is a Night Shift setting under Display and Brightness. I set it to like 9pm to 9am to go to reduced brightness. Works a charm.

Yea, I know about it, but I need to set the brightness much lower...thanks for the reminder!

I have to agree with @grsnovi. I prefer it the old way.

Oh Dear!

Sad to say it literally brings on a headache quite rapidly. I can't look at websites either which have white text on black so i think it's the white text that does it. Accept though, it's my problem not yours.

Let me see if watchweasol is an anagram  of wise old owl.  I am now expecting  a private message saying  "less of the old"

The good news is that you can change it back. You just have to go to the bottom of the page (below the YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter buttons) and select: THEME and change it back to LIGHT MODE. Apparently during a forum update a change was made and we all ended up seeing DARK MODE.

All is well.

I just noticed the automerge thats added, editted my post and the system automatically merged it with the post. 

Love it. 

Thanks Mark.

That's great! Thanks for pointing that out. I've changed back and all is well
