New Look Poll

[ZippityDooDah]

I'm curious to see what everyone thinks about the updated look around here. Now that I've had a little time to spend behind the scenes applying some updates and fixing some minor bugs and issues I wanted to do a little refresh including paying a designer to come up with a better logo than the free logo maker site I originally used lol.

Because the forum software doesn't allow separate multi-question polls in a single post I'm making the responses multiple-choice to best gauge what everyone thinks, which means you could technically choose that you both like and don't like something but please don't be that person!

If you have any thoughts/suggestions on any of the forum looks or functionality, please share those thoughts in the Suggestion forum! I'm especially interested to hear what people think of the color scheme in dark mode since I found the new Xenforo default dark mode colors to be a little difficult to read certain text and such.

Finally, if for some reason you're asking "What new look?" you may need to do a "hard" refresh (CTRL+F5 on Windows, CMD+OPTION+R on MacOS, pull down swipe & release on mobile, or just clearing the cache and cookies for glp1forum.com).

Was the removal of the “New Posts” button part of this refresh or a separate decision?

Serial killers and people who save years of their own poop in old Dominos boxes.

Weirdly enough I like the forum on light mode, but the rest of my phone on dark mode. I think I'm just used to it at this point.

@ZippityDooDah The *only* change I don't like is the default picture for new users. I preferred the letters because it made it easier to follow conversations, even if it was just different letters. There's so many people who just never change it. But I'll get used to it.

I did that for two reasons, 1. so maybe people actually set an avatar lol, and 2. I found all the random colors of the generic avatars to be distracting and made pages look too busy for my taste, especially in dark mode which everybody knows is the best.

I do like the way @indolent seems to be taking a well deserved break from his lab work

I'm taking a break from carefully contemplating a triple-decker hamberder ... instead shooting a small rabbit with a laser beam or something.

Rorschach who?

Yes, miss the new posts button. Not sure why I often can click the new hyperlink.

Same here.

The back button had to be removed because it was obstructing the light/dark mode selection button on mobile devices and was coded in such a way that relocating it wasn't worth the effort, and everybody wants dark mode. I did turn the vertical scroll buttons back on because someone requested it and they're not really in the way of anything but they're badly coded and can be buggy so I'll probably whack them again at some point.

Are you using some ancient device that doesn't support gestures like swiping left to go back/swiping right to go forward?
