    Darkly mode (any dark background theme actually) has a fucked up search result font color. Can't even see it.

        Maybe an issue with the particular browser you are using?

          @klaus Nothing to do with the browser. Happens with any browser on Mac or PC.

          Your screenshot is not what i'm talking about. That's why I included a screen shot.

          Click the magnifying glass icon in the upper right section of the page.

          As you type, the "look ahead search" produces a list of results. The look ahead search result list font color is what i'm talking about.

            Oh, now I see. I can reproduce the problem.

            Luckily, you are an administrator of this forum, and you have IT skills, hence I hereby happily shift the burden of investigating the issue to you 🙂

              Bad UX form to use ultra thin fonts in header material.

              Just sayin', because I'm a dick and Klaus knows this. But he could use Comic Sans and it'd be okay. Thanks for all you're doing, it's crazy how many features you were able to add while keeping it bot-free.

              Please love yourself.

                I’m having a hard time reading everything here compared to yesterday, has something changed? Everything seems smaller. (On my iPad - maybe it’s just me, and I need to put on my other glasses. But it looks different. )

                  Jodi,

                  Post a screen shot. That might be my fault. I inadvertently clicked on the darkly skin in admin control and forgot to look at what it was set at before I did that. So I just picked the first one on the admin screen.

                  Klaus, does selecting a skin on the admin panel set the default skin? I was not aware of that. I thought I could inspect and or modify the attributes of the skin. My bad.

                    Yes, a new font is used on the General Discussion
                    directory page, it is less bold (skinnier lines) and darker color that blends with the background - needs more contrast between letters and the background and bolder font

                    It is hard too tell the difference between read and unread threads because the colors are similar and dark

                      I don't know, but I also noticed that the forum looks different now. Maybe you can revert what you did?

                        I changed the default skin to "Paper".

                        It looks similar to what we had before but I'm not 100% sure it's exactly like what we had before Mark screwed things up.

                        Thoughts?

                            @doctor-phibes I like this font, but it’s harder to read - skinnier and thinner. Especially on the table of contents page (ok, that’s not the right set of words, can’t think of what it’s actually called 😄) - the light grey (read) and the light blue (not read) are really pale.

                              I set it back to the "Readable" skin. Which I think is where it was before I screwed things up modifed the default.

                              You can modify your personal settings to change it to anything you like.

                                      Wait, now it looks different again? The "Readable" skin is still the default, though. @mark (or @Axtremus ), did you do anything?

                                          Is there a way to insert a bulleted list?

                                          I see the little icon to the right of the Italics, but when I select text, it only puts a bullet by the first item. Inserting a CR after each item doesn't seem to matter.

                                          First Item
                                          Second Item
                                          Third Item

                                          =-=-=-=-=

                                          • First Item
                                            Second Item
