not that my opinion counts since im hardly on here anymore but the old format was way better, it was far easier on the eyes. this white template looks like alot of "basic" 1-2 year old small forums whereas this place has been around almost 20 years

it was suggested by IB and google that we move away from the darker theme.
i can check to see if we can bring back the dark theme but this is in line with IB's other forums.
As to the banner...there were complaints about the old banner waiting for the update. the updated banner that we got didn't work within the new sizing. not sure if that person that created the banner is still around sooooo anyone wants to make another banner and actually have it on the site let me know.

This light theme is hardly a brand, it's not the same as having some shared logo or symbol everywhere. It's quite generic, as this forum software is the same used on countless other sites.
I hope someone comes forth with a banner. If I had a lick of graphical talent I'd take a shot at it myself, alas I do not. Besides I'd probably be biased to the 8th gen

let's see how this goes...if it's that bad then i'll ask IB to give users an option.
just checking to see what's off....there's a ton of grey, what is it that's too bright...the text boxes?

I don't see why Sameness is important here. Not everyone is going to use multiple IB sites, but if they did It seems even more important that they easily stand out from one another.

it's not a brand per-se...is what google tells them that they should use and it also conforms with other sites. i don't pay the bills here so i can't call the shots on what happens but this is what IB recommends so let's see how it goes. i might ask to bring back dark theme as an option.

most forum/posting sites like 4chan, Reddit, etc have the "bright" theme standard and "dark" as a user option like the dark theme that used to be here and people almost always swap to the dark theme

the home forum page isnt THAT bad but when you reply to a thread, my eyeballs are getting destroyed by all the bright white.

I do miss the dark theme but it isn’t that bad at night. I do have my brightness turned all the way down and night time mode enabled as well.
Would be nice to at least have the dark dark theme as an option.

Agreed on the theme.
Way back when I was studying Database Design, my professor wanted us to modify our own version of "phpBB" which looks alot like this forum and other forums. I couldn't think of a good reason why color theme could be hard to modify, but then again, it's be 10 years since I looked at that code.
