    Gally, is there any chance of a dark theme for the forum, please? It's a nightmare when viewing in a dark room....

    It also saves battery on most phones.

    I agree. Lots of sites have a darl theme these days and where i can i use nothing else. I already use the blue light filter on my phone that takes the edge off pure brilliant white websites, but a dark theme would be nice

    This would be a great idea. I do think it is testament, though, to the brilliant people that run this site that the only criticisms we have are regarding features which almost exclusively only high-end apps/webpages have.

    Having to look through some opposition clubs’ fan forums has really rammed this home... literally still stuck in the ‘90s school of web design.

    And to make the new colouring of the forum headers less bright or allow the forum to be viewed under what it was before it was changed the other day.

    I agree a dark mode would be a nice feature.

    For now, if it’s any help, users with iPhones can utilise either “reduce white point” or greyscale in settings. Not as good as a dark coloured theme but certainly helps.

    It was changed back to what it originally. only the tabs have changed nothing else. They were made black on request when Patrick died. Changed them back to our team colours.

    I use Samsung browser (Beta - have to opt in on the play store) it has a dark mode you can select in the options which looks great for most sites Screenshot_20190219_201608_com.sec.android.app.sbrowser.beta.jpg Screenshot_20190219_201659_com.sec.android.app.sbrowser.beta.jpg

    There’s a night setting in the settings on iPhone? I have it on that all the time as it makes the background black and the text white...
