Quick tips:

Thank you all for sticking with it.

Good job Hoogle!

[hoggle123]

Many thanks Hoggle for doing a job I could never have done myself. We are truly lucky to have you here!

Nice to see you back. I was starting to lose hope. I checked today on a whim.

Can we get the forum back to its old colors? The new color scheme is making my eyes pop out.

[hoggle123]

Thanks for your feedback, Sissy!

I was under the impression that the forum is in light mode by default. At least, whenever I open the site in an incognito window, it defaults to light mode.

I tried this in both Chrome and Safari and I consistently get the light mode as default.

But this seems to not be the case for you. Automagix has reported the same issue.

Can other people weigh in, do you guys see light or dark mode by default?

Maybe we need to switch to a different forum theme after all.

In the meantime, you should see a small light bulb icon at the top of the page. Clicking on that will switch the forum to light mode.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for getting this site back online. I’m sure it wasn’t easy but it definitely is appreciated.

I've been seeing the forum in dark mode when I enter the forum with Firefox

Whenever I opened the website before the crash it always opened in light mode, if fact I didn't know there was dark mode!

Same. After the restoration, using Windows 11, it opens in dark mode for me with Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Opera, and Edge. [Shrug]. Same using Chrome under Linux Mint. (Didn't check other browsers under Mint.) However, if you're not using incognito mode, Chrome will remember the setting for the website.

I am also getting it in "dark mode" which for me is an all-black background.

Can one leave a comment on a picture in the gallery? One of Steve Burke's submissions sparked an idea, and the site wanted me to log in again and then rejected my login and password.

People should be able to log in with their forum credentials.

However, experience has shown that preserving passwords across the recent forum moves and upgrades seems to be a matter of luck. If you can’t log in, you can use the password reset feature of the gallery. I have just tried it out. (and realized the reset email is messed up with dark mode, so you need to select the email content with your mouse to see what it says)

I have added a board announcement showing how to get out of dark mode, since this seems to be a common issue.
