Another for twilight - Photoshop-esque
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

I like twilight too, maybe you should make it the default theme...

TwilightBB is the default theme! But you only automatically get it if you sign up. Existing users stick with their theme, until it is changed. Maybe I should just remove the damaged ProSilver theme.

I would take the dodgy one out, as some folks no doubt do visit the forum for a read (but don't register). And it's a bit ropey by default at the moment.

Well you're right, it is the default now. I just used another browser for an anonymous view and everything looks better with this theme

Yes, I just wiped the faulty - deactivated. I see now that 1500 or so users are switched to TwilightBB with the proper logo at the top.

Re: Whats going on with the forum?
I can't use the new default as the contrast between the background and the text is not enough.
I had to swtich to subsilver2.
I had a look around the net subsequent to the problem after the upgrade and there are many forums that seem to have a working prosilver. I don't know if it was a temporary bug or a bug in the latest version. Please put it back when there is a version that works again.

Re: Whats going on with the forum?
I will have a look for other themes, maybe just remove ProSilver and replace it with a new installation. I find the black causes less eyestrain during the day but agree the contrast is just that little bit low.

I was surprised to see everything in black this morning and immediately switched it back.
Re: Whats going on with the forum?
The black theme looks good on my monitor too. However, the low contrast text at 128 DPI can is a little difficult to read.

Re: Whats going on with the forum?
I wasn't a fan of the Twilight theme either, though DK's logo looks pretty cool.

Re: Whats going on with the forum?
Awfully sorry but I find this fashionable black background absolutely awful for reading. It reminds me of the desktop computer I had in 1979, which was green or orange on black. Higher quality monitors enabled black on white background, like print, but now we seem to be regressing again. This is great for viewing images but not for reading type. Sorry. Can I revert to the old?
Re: Whats going on with the forum?
DPR's messages are black on white; Dyxum's white on black. I don't have any trouble with either of them. Either is much better than gray on gray.
I can read what I have written here just fine (#c0c0c0) with twilightBB but it's unreadable in subsilver2.
The bright green text you put up in a post in the "red channel" discussion is also very difficult to read in subsilver2.
Editing text color is going to be a problem.
