Forum Dark Theme - Bertram Anders - 07-29-2020
Good morning all!
Though it is still a work in progress and will change, I am proud to announce that you have the option to select a dark theme to use of the forums if you so choose. The layout is a bit different from the current one, but it is nothing too major nothing too major.
Follow the step below to change your theme.
1. From the homepage click on USER CP.
2. From your profile drop down click EDIT OPTIONS.
3. On the bottom right of your screen, under the other options section, choose your BOARD STYLE.
4. Click UPDATE OPTIONS at the bottom.
5. That's it. Your done. Congratulations.

I am too :) Well done Bert :)
One thing, my type face is a lighter shade to screen colour, not sure how to change font colour to see while typing. Preview shows it as white type on dark background so guessing it will change when posted :)

Good morning all.
I am sure that many of you are aware of the fact that I am still actively working out some of the kinks with the dark theme.
One of those currently is a formatting issue that occurs when you are trying to paste something in. What happens is the the forums like to keep the native formatting of wherever you pasted it from. This is normally not a big deal, but it causes some issues since we have both a light and a dark theme. We have posts with white text on the light theme and dark text on the dark theme, etc.
The current solution that I have found is to put your text editor into "source mode" you can do this each time you post, or you can make it easy on yourself and have the forums do it for you automatically. You will have to any add in any bold or any other formatting that you want it, but that can all be done with the buttons at the top of the editor.
See the instructions below.
1. Follow the original steps in the post until you complete step 2.
2. Check the box labeled "Put the editor in source mode by default.
3. Click save.

Edit: I have also discovered that I can turn off the color option for Mycode. So that should help as well.
