    Alright, just putting it out there. Oddly the old theme doesn't have that issue.

    Uhh....not sure if I'm the only one with this problem, but it's the new theme when I'm logged out and switches back to the old one as soon as I log in. Is this a bug?

    I'm using the iPad, so that might have something to do with it.

    If you haven't, (TMK) you need to manually switch over to the new theme at the bottom left of the page.

    So, I'm absolutely adoring this new theme. Aside from it being a lot easier on the eyes, it just feels a lot more natural. Especially on my tablet. Unlike before, it is perfectly optimized for mobile devices. 10/10

    i dislike the new theme profusely, it looks like galaxy citizen's forum layout, and just comes off as too dark (and edgy)

    From what I've seen people have either really liked it or really disliked it, for a variety of reasons. I'm personally kind of split about it; on one hand, it's a LOT easier on the eyes, but it's also a little clunkier and the text is a bit too large by default on computers. Definitely an improvement on mobile though.

    But, honestly, that's just my opinion. As are all of these. Just as long as you can always change it back, I think this is a great thing to have for those who like it for any reason. Those that don't: Just change it back and forget it exists. Problem solved.

    A general success, I think, just because it's gained the approval of some of the community as an improvement. Great to have options!

    The font size can be changed and I've been tweaking it as feedback comes in. Current font is generally 15pts.

    Now the real question is....
    Leave it wide or set it back to the way it was, where it was thin and organized.
    Hmm....

    Actually, I think it being wide is a little... eh. I like the style, but it would probably be a lot better with it more compact and organized. But the question with that is "Will the mobile site still look fine?"

    Yes. Compact is the default. I messed it up when it became wide. >_>

    Font - Still abit big. title font bugs me.
    Size - revert to compact. it looked sleeker, and I feel my screen is zoomed in. I have the website set at 90% zoomed because it feels too "in my face"
    Problems - no slash text anymore. some colors look unreadable (but thats okay by me)

    Opinion: I love the new theme, just it needs to be tweaked. keep going at it
