    Or use Firefox and Stylish and make it any colorscheme you like!

    Anyway I like it, it's now less obvious when I'm checking the forum at work :smiley:

    Coming here from Tamriel Foundry is like walking out into massive sunlight after being in the office all day.... uhm... I am sure there is a correlation there someplace...but.... a little darker would be nice...

    This is whats so hard for ZOS to do. I have huge issues with dark forums, they hurt my eyes so much. What we have here doesn't hurt them at all, its easy to read for me and the tiny blue touch works well with the dark font.

    We all have different eyes, its tough for ZOS to please everyone and I understand your pain If you have trouble now, as I have the trouble too at Foundry.

    My point was not to make here LIKE the TF site but someplace in between as, yes, TF is way too dark and this way is too screaming blinding bright me for at least. Thank goodness @lordrichter posted fix, which worked for me :)

    Thus far the mobile version of the forums had been untouched. Sadly, today, it looks like the mobile version got "updated". Incredibly odd and unappealing color scheme. It actually looks like some css was set wrong to get this color combination.
    We're currently investigating the problems on mobile. If you encounter additional problems, please let us know.

    im loving the new forum :smile:

    Please change it back. White background and the new font ruin visibility on a large screen (too little contrast) and drains battery faster on phones/tablets.

    At least give us the option of light on dark/dark on light like some other sites.

    You see blue and white? We see black and gold... :trollface:

    Whatever colour it is it needs to be addressed.

    As for the desktop forum design I like it. However this is what my mobile version looks like currently:

    I like the change. I felt the old forums were a little to dreary. Although the brightness is maybe a little too bright, I still like this better than the old forums. But looks like I am the minority.

    @ZOS_AlanG Why did you change the colours of the forums? You realise that the game you are working on is an Elder Scrolls game...Right?

    This looks like a medical website............

    I'm assuming you have the previous colours saved. So, how about you change the forums back and make a poll so the players can decide?

    If by good mental health, you mean searing pain, then yes.


    It would be best if they would offer several themes. I suppose that is on the drawing board already though.

    One of the college football teams painted their visiting locker room pink, in order to intimidate or mollify their opponents.

    Perhaps, the Zenimax developers had something similar in mind for visiting posters, with this calming blue/aqua theme?

    Given what the 'green' said about the lengthy downtime needed to implement it I think you're likely going to be disappointed, it's here to stay.

    This is colorblind friendly. Also blind friendly. :trollface:

    Actually I like this feature on the Staff posts that allows to find other staff posts. Nice addition.
    Improving the visibility of that was important to us. Additionally, the ZeniMax icon that appears next to threads we've posted it can be clicked to bring you to the first staff post. We're looking to add a similar in-thread option, but an issue was discovered during deployment.

    This one would make a plea for custom avatars - or can this one mail you a nice picture of Santie Claws (this one) so you could add it to the collection yes?
    Given the additional moderation custom avatars would require, they're not something we're currently considering.
