Also, we have finally changed the dark theme to have more updated background art and color codes (coming this Friday). You can choose which theme you’d like to use by selecting the ‘themes’ link at the bottom of the forums. 

It's a little bit sad to see the last part of Warframe's beginning changing... but I can't wait to see how the new dark theme looks like :)



While you are working on forum's changes can you maybe add one more thing?
Can you make a little change to the polls so that we can see on what we have voted on? 
Like look at this:

Can you tell me, what I have chosen? 
No?   It was 2
So please can you add some sort of mark or highlight to see your vote after choosing it?

Is there a way to skip the splash page every time I go to www.warframe.com?

Looks like I might have 2 different accounts on here then 🤣

Enable cookies so it remembers who you are.

I know it's probably a dumb request but is there any way to actually set the Megathread to Mod+ only while the forums are under the knife? 

Cause there are so many people who use it not knowing and then within the first three replies is typically someone pointing it out sometimes less than constructively and if it just wasn't an option it would clear that up completely ❤️

 

Edit: Also good luck with all the twitter spam about the Forums being broken/down during the update.

[Reifnir]

Will the links to the most recent patch notes return?

Kinda lonely without them...

Can we get the "Latest Builds" box back on top, please? It was very useful to see if an update dropped while I was aimlessly browsing the forum.

Also, maybe reduce the transparency of the black stuff on the dark theme? Looks too... bright all of a sudden.

At this point it is just baffling that the same issues with the Dark Theme still exist after all this time.

If you want the exact lines of CSS, I'd be fine to forward them, but it really are all simple fixes.

[RAZORLIGHT]

the new color scheme is terrible 😞

[SephirothWS]

It honestly feels like the dark theme is just a bandaid over the original light blue theme, because there's plenty of elements that are black text on white as per default, like the pagination elements, this bright as ever post editor, as well as all dropdown menus. I'm sure the Invision community can provide in some form, a better dark theme than this one is.

Edit: Now that I look at it, yes it is. The background is the same exact one now except with like a 45% opacity black rectangle overlaid on it to "make it dark". I thought for sure the new artwork would be brand new and not just this bandaid graphic. I liked the old one tbh.

[Urlan]

I am finding the hard black for unpressed links, and light black for pressed links sorta detracts from default forum text color, but I am sure the formatting issues on the main page will be cleaned up as it settles into the new look.

[GinKenshin]

do you really have to put the 'warframe builds' right above the recent thread section? why not put it above the subforum section or in it's old placement? 

 

better yet, let us be able to hide it like the rest of the subforums

[Queenque]

aaaaaa forum looks cool ❤️❤️ 

[SephirothWS]

Got to love being unable to read what's in the box because light-colored text on eye-blindingly bright backgrounds.

Click on Community Inbox and be taken to the announcement & FAQ regarding it.

 

While the text is legible since the background is still rather light, you can see the spoiler sticks out like a sore thumb as a lot of stuff tends to default to black-colored text.

Theme doesn't change the text color, it was red before the update, how can I set it again?

I see. Thanks!

I know this is going to sound extremely petty, but having Feedback be below Bugs is kinda annoying. Given that most people come to the Forums in order to give feedback, I would at least expect it to be after the Community section.

 

Given that you can just minimize the Bugs tab, it is not that bad, it is just a super minor thing,

Probably because people post bugs in the feedback section?
