If it's still here I can't find it either. Part of the "fixing as we go"?
No longer a moderator.

I just found it sort of by accident. If you go to a user's profile, under "Quick Forum Links" you'll find KVR Forum Index > Members > whatever theuser name is. Clicking "Members" will bring you to memberlist.php , which is the same address it has always had, it just used to be easier to reach if you didn't remember that (as I clearly didn't).

The "post inline" button for attachments doesn't show in the dark version unless you first drag an image onto your post ... I have to do it for every attachment. works as expected in the light version.

Yup! Much better! Loving new dark mode.

Thanks everyone.

Light mode appears lighter almost entirely due to the choice of a white background outside of the forum text area. A "mixed mode", which keeps the forum text area as the present "light mode", but changes the stuff outside of that to be darker, would provide something closer to the previous defaults. Some percentage of users might find the new white background choice off-putting, whilst finding dark mode too dark..
Yep, that were exactly my thoughts with the new modes. Light mode a bit too light, dark mode too dark. That old “mixed” mode was pretty OK.
I’ll get used to the new light mode, of course. Won’t use the dark mode as light text on a dark background is just harder to read.

I love the dark mode where it exists - just hoping the whole site will have that option eventually

It's in the Quick Forum Links drop-down.

The whole site does (apart from Latest Posts, which should be migrated by Monday). Where isn't it?

Should be fixed now.

That seems to be a problem that existed before the update. I've fixed it now anyway.

As a work in progress, I'll be using it!

The "Jump To" menu hurts my eyes though

I'm using the dark mode, great!!

Still not fan of the green text, it's quite sickly looking, even the muted white/grey text would be better for the thread topics and the other bits that use that green colour.

a lot of people might like the green text because we're use to it, the green was part of the original dark theme which was blue like this as well...like I said, it's like an old friend.
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

The new dark mode is hideous, but now light mode has changed and its even worse.

It's also very jumpy, and new layouts are hard to find, can't even see my forum prefs anymore

Please change it back, its awful
