I think that purple line at start of a thread would work with maybe thinner white lines on top and bottom (or a shade into gray). I also think something like the thicker line between the subject (or the reply header) and the main body of a post/reply helps to distinguish the 2 sections better.

There are some shades of purple that when used as a bold and large font would work against black background where the light blue is used for “O-T Lounge” near the top of pages and other similar places in this beta (grey background depends on shade), but like in pic that bolder shade of yellow for posted by name (“Chicken” in pic) and for “LINK” in pic can work there and in various others spots especially to distinguish clickable text mixed in with regular text (also where the light blue larger fonts mentioned earlier are being used to replace purple in classic view if a shade of purple can’t work). For our closed captioning/subtitles we decided on a similar yellow font inside a 50% transparent black box as it was usually easier to read than the White font. A fluorescent looking shade of green was most visible, but it was annoying.

Using blue to replace purple on an LSU site reminds when our purple looked blue on tv, and bold by itself doesn’t always stand out as much in dark mode as in classic version. White font is best overall on dark mode websites, but sometimes you need some text to stand out more and differentiate itself better than using bold and/or just shifting to another shade of same color will accomplish in dark mode.

Am I the only one who can’t see how many pages a topic has while in dark mode?

Looks the same to me.

Well, the buttons and text are slightly different.

Desktop view on a main page like the main OT page listing the active discussions/topic will not show the topic’s pages (links to pages) on the beta and most likely not on the released version as well.

But on the mobile view if you are talking about the page 3 of 15 or similar at top and bottom of each page of replies once in a thread or discussion that should still be visible in the beta. If these are not visible Chicken has usually asked for what browser is being used and also a screen print to be posted if possible when other issues like this have popped up today.

I couldn’t go to the dark side, got lost in all the darkness, it all blended together… I missed my New signs instead of blue dots.
