    Holy s---.

    And I thought the day theme would improve from it's last version and be less blinding...

    Like seriously, i'm not a professional designer but it doesn't take a genius to realize that grey font on a completely white backround, with not even dark borders around boxes is a bad idea and would give anyone a headache after 2 minutes.

    Even the rectangular banner behind our avatars, the likes and the quotes are in such a light grey that it makes it all look like a jumbled mess rather than making posts appear easily distinguishable and easy to read.

    Night theme can't come fast enough.

    There’s been extensive posts on this already. Feedback is welcomed, but maybe try to be more constructive and less bitchy.

    Can’t get over how dope this is.

    Anyways, couple questions/comments:

    1) I see that quick reply (goat mode) is in beta for mobile users. So not sure if you are aware of the display issues or not but when expanding the emojis, you can’t scroll to the top of the list and you can’t close the list. Only way to make it go away is to refresh the page. You probably already know about this but just pointing it out in case you don’t. I’m using safari on an iPhone 8 on 11.3.1 if that matters.

    2) Will my monthly donations continue to work with 3.0? Or do I need to re-configure that? Or has that all changed with 3.0?

    Thanks again @Slyk and @Loyalty!

    hmm. i scrolling doesn't work at all? i've tested on a couple iOS devices, with both iOS 11 & iOS12. i did notice a little finicky scrolling with the smilies here and there, but it should for the most part not be a recurring issue from what i've seen (hence, the "beta" tag). for the collapsing piece, if you tap the smilie again, it should collapse just like on desktop

    i think you'll need to re-do it. i just had another inquiry and paypal for some reason suddenly doesn't like the auto-recurring payment structure and was resulting in an error. i had to adjust it to be non-recurring and suddenly it works as that now, which is what it's currently shown as (@Koolo -- did you ever run into this?). i restructured things to only have a more simplistic single tier now in 3.0, hence the changes.

    you mean there's an issue with being able to close the ad? or to remove it altogether? i dislike ads as much as anyone, but they're a neecssary evil to run things. if doing the account upgrade (found in user dropdown), you can disable all ads.

    which option?

    Well, I know feedback won't be taken into consideration because it wasn't when the 2.0 day theme came out and people were complaining that it was unreadable. It was kept the same. So I just expressed my frustration.

    I do not work professionally as a developer, but anyone with a pair of eyes can see that this is a bad choice of design/colors.

    The red line beside the quotes isn't a bad idea but the backround should be a bit darker so that the the comments and the quotes are more destinguishable. Same thing with the light grey used behind the avatar and the likes.

    Also, when you view threads it honestly looks like a mess. The entire backround is white. There is barely an outline around each thread so that we can tell them appart. It's just white everywhere and makes the page look like an entire wall of text rather than different threads.

    Just my opinion. It could have been done differently too but one thing is for sure, this s--- is way too bright. It's blindingly white and a few small changes could improve it greatly.

    I also noticed that the font is a lot lighter and very hard to read when you click reply or edit.

    Anyway, gotta leave for a bit and come back later. My eyes already hurt after typing this.

    Simple example of things that would make it easier to read.

    Instead of this

    [​IMG]
    I would add a thin outline. Probably smaller than the one below but it gives an idea

    [​IMG]
    Also instead of this

    [​IMG]
    I would do something more like this. Probably lighter, but maybe something in the middle...

    I do agree with @Tonshor about maybe putting some lines in between the stickied threads so they're easier to differentiate from the non-stickied threads.
