My eyes, the brightness burns; where is the dark mode?

    Hi,

    I was wondering where have you hidden the toggle switch for the Dark mode?

    There isn't one. Niamh said before the migration that it would be one of their priorities after go-live because so many people asked for it. I'm genuinely amazed at how many people are clamouring for it, personally I hate dark screens.

    Tried it. Slowed things down to a crawl. Uninstalled immediately.

    I'm envious of your perfectly functioning retinas.

    I wouldn't be too envious, they're far from perfect, I'm blind as a bat without my rather strong glasses. 😂

    My iPad brightness is at about 15% of max currently.... dark mode is less harsh on the eyes, less tiring to browse boards it would be most desirable.

    that said they otherwise I’m liking the new look, features... so thanks to all who contributed..

    Unfortunately, not you still have to use a browser extension which sucks because I like to use chrome but unfortunately on android, you can't install browser extensions, so I have to use Firefox on my phone instead. It was a massive oversight not to include it when migrating the site to a new platform.

    Seriously, June 2022. No Dark mode. Brutal. My 28" bright screen makes the site look terrible. and no - not installing browser extensions to deal with it. Hope its on a backlog somewhere.

    I've installed the Adblock browser on my phone and forced it to have dark mode permanently. I use it for boards exclusively. The shockingly intrusive ads and unwillingness to even entertain introducing dark mode made me do it.
