"What ifs"

Light mode looks washed out, imo. Everything looks much better with the dark mode, and it's easier on my eyes when I'm scrolling through my phone at night.

What if more websites had dark/night modes?
I'll always activate dark mode if there is one.

I've used both and always go back to the white because it's easier on my eyes. I think the Purple needs to be changed a bit and then it would be better
light looks better on my phone than my computer. It might be better with a more solid black for the outlines.

Maybe it's because I've always used the dark mode, but I like the purple.

What if you simply scrolled down to the bottom of the page and pressed "dark" and turned into to "light" in 2 seconds or actually read the main page on how to change page default? That'd be insane huh.
What if I can't stand bright screens giving me headaches, hence the use of the dark theme?
What if the actual problem was fixed instead of being a smartass? Now THAT would be insane!

you have had the ability since the outset to change to the "light" version - no reason to come back to the forum after a hiatus and start throwing insults

See above. It's a 30 second fix for any half competent developer. That's got nothing to do with some hiatus. It was meant tongue in cheek, btw, not an honest to god insult.

This is 100000000x more readable, and just looks better.
I program and style websites for a living, so maybe I just have less tolerance for amateur hour and dont like listening to excuses for such simple and obvious user-friendly related issues. Sue me?

I have updated the color, thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Contrary to your screenshot however, I kept the light purple color (easier to read now), to differentiate between read and unread posts / sections.

If you post future suggestions or feedback in the appropriate forum section, they will get reviewed and implemented much faster.

That is much better. I can actually read the titles now. Thanks for the quick fix!

What if this thread was never derailed?

One might have asked... what if TO never declined to play in Baltimore, and we ended up with Derrick mason, TO, heap, and McNair in 06, and had the same trio with Flacco for 2 years or so.

What if we were successful in our attempt to trade up for Matt Ryan in the 2008 draft?
Do we ever win a SB? Do we still draft Lamar?

no question it looks better, but imo it isn't more readable and that's why everytime I use the black background I have to go back. This could be because I'm used to the white background also. That being said, I've used plenty of websites that have had black backgrounds and haven't had an issue.

what was changed in the dark mode, because it looks better to me to, but I'm not sure why. I've always used light mode because it's easier on the eye, but this seems much better.

The font color of the thread titles in the forum pages. Changed to light purple from dark purple to make it easier to read the text.

I think you have it backwards? It's definitely more readable; white contrasts with the dark background much more than deep purple...but may not look better depending on your tastes. Personally, not a fan of colored fonts. They're hard to pull off without looking gaudy or just bad...

Any thoughts on the Matt Ryan comments I made earlier? Curious what people think. So many different scenarios may have played out.

Could Matt Ryan carry us in the 2012 playoffs and go 11-0. He had his chance in the superbowl and blew a 28-3 lead. We've also only seen Ryan with a good OC and weapons around him. I'm sure if we gave Flacco anyone near Julio Jones's level he'd be much, much better. Look at what he did with an old SSS and a Torry Smith who was nothing when he left us.

now that makes sense. Always thought it was too dark and that could be why it isn't so harsh and yes it is a preference thing, without a doubt. I've always liked the look of the black background better, but the ease of reading with the old font coloring had me stick to the white.

I'm going to stick with the black background and lighter purple font a bit as a test.

Maybe I might have liked him but since I've always hated him ( always compared to Joe ) I cant fathom the thought.
