New Forum suggestion

Can we get a background somewhat similar to what we had on the previous forums?

ReginoldJudd

Or at least anything other than gray

The option to have a "night mode" (dark background, medium-light print) would also be welcome.

Yes. Most forum software allows users to customize appearance (at the very least with dark and light themes).

Can we get some basic functionality like the ability to change our username? That is necessary to add / remove / change fleet tags.

This has to be done via your Disruptor Beam account: https://games.disruptorbeam.com/account

Thank you Shan.

Some theme options would be nice. The gray is a bit too bright for night viewing, but it looks nice and professional when I pull it up at work!

Hey folks. My first entry here. I prefer a darker background as well.

As everyone , this is a serious eye sore. Just horrible, please darker colors or let us use a theme.

Just installed a Firefox add-on called Page Shadow, which lets you pick color "themes" for any page. It's also apparently available for all the other major browsers.

Here's a screenshot of one of the themes:

A "night mode" for the new forums would be great!

I feel like we're in a JJ reboot

Xoiiku

+1 for night mode or space theme. There is lots of nice space art in the game, could we get some of those or something like those used as background images for the forums please?

Don't encourage them or we'll end up with lens flares all over the place.

OMG Yes! So much needs to be done to improve the visuals. Kudos on the upgrade for security purposes but lets get a decorator in here asap.

Red Shirt Cadet

Agreed on needing darker themes. The white is painfully bright.

I second this! I would love to have options of utilizing some of the gorgeous artwork the game has as a backdrop for these forums.

I miss the ability to have fleet banners in signatures. How else will I show off my crappy MS Paint skillz?

[STJ] Wendell

Night mode please
I liked the previous colors, but anything darker would work.

You cannot edit your profile avatar unless you go to the full site and they are very tiny. Maybe consider changing that? No one can read my hilarious meme

Also nice job, I can already tell this will be much easier to navigate with my mobile device.

Whelp, it ain't perfect, but dang, that is a lot better. Thanks for the extension tip.

Personally, I've always hated images in signatures. In some forums, they become obnoxious to the point where you have nothing but 20 line signatures attached to 2 word posts.

However, I found it odd that I have the option to block images in signatures and they're not allowed. I don't care if people use images provided I have the option to block them.

EDIT (because I can) - I think my signature is the best.

I think the feature I'm most missing right about now is the ability to unsubscribe from threads to stop getting email notifications about every post. I found the notification options here, but the old forum had a link at the top of the thread to just unsubscribe from that particular thread. Does anyone have any insight as to an equivalent here, other than changing general notification settings? It's entirely possible I am just missing it due to being blinded .....
