I like how the upvotes and downvotes are anonymous. I’m curious if there are plans to have an upvote count next to usernames like Reddit’s karma system.

I generally like the dark mode. I am not sure if it’s just my brain getting used to something new but I feel like maybe the spacing and buttons on dark mode could be improved with time.

For example, I am noticing as I post this that the buttons for “bold, italic, underline” are right-justified in the buttons. Small things like that cause the eye to be like what’s going on here, can’t put my finger on it. That will probably just be small fixes over time for the hamsters.

Didn't the title of the post show up in the header of the relies? That helped us old folks from remembering what we were replying to...

there are pro's & con's to both sides.

I would also like to know if hate towards certain posters are actually warranted or if we just think somebody is a serial downvoter....

Phone or desktop, they are centered for me on desktop...maybe a little top justified instead of centered up and down, but they are good left and right.

Why?

That's a big NO for me, dawg.

All you have to do is just click last post and it brings you to the latest page, though you have to scroll to the top every time you go back to the thread and that sucks.

I don't like how people without avatar pictures now have a generic silhouette instead of just a blank space. Looks cheap.

I’m almost always a fan of dark mode, but this is just a tad tough to read. Can’t put my finger on it.


Some of it for me on mobile is needing more of a difference between the alternating dark/grey shades on each of the topics/threads, the “by poster” font color isn’t as different from the topic/subject along with some others as they are in classic view (distinguishing differences with differing font colors and shades including using bold is more difficult in dark view), not having a completely different color for background of header above the first post on each page or above replied to post when replying (says “Message” within a thread, says “Message” above replied to post, & says “Topic” and “Last Post” on the main OT page listing topics/threads and all have purple backgrounds on classic), and on topic/thread view (main OT site) the horizontal border lines between threads aren’t as visible as the vertical line that separates topics from last post columns.

All i see it generic silhouette's, that is more than likely a product of work blocking images though. I havent really seen avatars in years. Is mine still Dark Helmet from Spaceballs? I have no clue
