Yes dark blue, I have to zoom right in to tell, but I like it. The logo is stopping (as in staying or going?) To me it’s fine, and the speed great.

Though I thought the logo had just changed. Last week. I like either.

I mean the logo is staying, I like it. I have also added a night filter to the side bar or below the forum on mobile. Its not perfect and I do not plan on perfecting it but it helps me build and eases the eye strain for me.

The feint gray for links does not work very well if at all – it definitely needs to stand out more for a link than it does. Ars Tecnica has moved to a black theme, you might like to try pinching ideas from them!

Lol, no pinching. Yes I will fix the links amongst other stuff as I go over the next couple of days but I am avoiding it looking like every were else.

Link for testing.

I don’t see the night filter option lee. I’ll never use it, or not for while as Google phones what a really good at night filter. And before that id use ‘twilight’ app. It’s very good.

If you’re having some difficulty at night, you should try it. Basically, they just mute the blues and raise the red levels. I gist have mine set to a home on when the sun goes down. if I’m watching a sci-fi I may turn it off (pause it), but other than that I let “it” decide when it should be on/off.

I like Night Mode, similar to the Kindle Read app on Hudl, phone and PC. Brightness can be adjusted to just how it’s needed. Nice one, Lee.

Hopefully the login should keep you on the same page now, now we all should be on the same page 🙂

I really can’t see the night mode. Can someone post a screenshot, or a thick note as my mum would call it.

The night mode was not actually night mode and is in fact night filter. Now there is the real night mode to accompany it, it’s very broken but usable.

I have added a new feature which is in it’s infancy. “Gallery” You can now find under account in the Main menu a gallery button which will take you to your gallery area from where you can create a photo gallery. Useful I guess if you want save images for quick access such as a screen shot for something or other. It does support video uploads and audio to but I have disabled them for the time being as storage is expensive. I am wanting to add a youtube feature rather than files being stored on the server but that may take some time. Anyhow it’s there and hopefully it can be improved on in time.

Other things left to do.
1. Buttons for @sgb101 and mobile users for better forum navigation.
2. User level and point for “Well just fun”.
3. New classified system.
4. And I am still thinking at about that reviews idea.
5. Some more tweaking and cleaning up.
6. and anything else I can think off as this will be the last big update until next Christmas.
Also if there is anything you can think off feature wise let me know now. Any ideas welcome, could be any feature idea and not necessarily related to the forum. A tool to help you do something that you would usually have to navigate away from forumite to do for example.

Also there is that damn front page to sort. I have been putting it for a year now 🙁
