Is anyone from STW Towers reading any of these posts or are we just shouting in to the void?
Responses have always been fairly quick but no one has replied to any of the concerns/problems/queries raised for weeks.

Yay! Dark mode is back and I didn’t even need to logout or delete cookies.

It appears to be "darker mode."  Not that I'm complaining, I'm rather attached to my retinas.  But I was already in dark mode and I can see the theme change.

It’s (very) light mode here! I wonder what’s going to happen when the sun goes down?

I used to be able to see at a glance from the list of threads on the overview page, which I'd read up to date and which I hadn't, or were new threads. The font on the thread title was dark on unread threads or those with new posts and light on those I was up to date on.  This no longer seems to be the case?  I think there might be the very sublest of differences in the shade of blue but it's barely discernible to me, especially on a phone, where once it was obvious, Any reason for the change?

Also the number of threads on the overview page seems to have gone to 100? threads per page. This makes the font tiny and means a ridiculous amount of scrolling to get through it.  If I zoom in to overcome the old eyes/small font issue, the scrolling issue becomes even worse.  Especially as the navigation shortcuts at the bottom of the page were removed ages ago, without  explanation, despite many requests to return them.

I have to confess I find the frequent tinkering with the forum appearance and navigation tiresome and unsettling, especially as there never seems to be any explanation for it and any reasonable requests for functionality improvements or glitch fixes just get ignored.

I know it's a chicken/egg situation as regards Mark's time and the funding of staff to deal with all this, but none of this helps make your case for attracting investors particularly compelling.  It may seem unfair, but plenty are going to be thinking "if you can't deal with this basic stuff, or even communicate with us about it, what chance of bringing off ambitious growth plans you want my investment for"?

Scroll back over several pages on this thread and dozens of reasonable requests to fix things have been ignored for at least a couple of months.  Even a one liner to say you are aware of the issues but don't have the time/resources to fix them right now would be better than complete radio silence and might allay the feeling you've just given up as far as forum functionality goes.

Screenshot might explain this better.  This is on a laptop, it's much worse on the phone:

Something must have changed as it's gone from taking 30 seconds to load to taking about 3 seconds, much better.

why has the text in an opened thread changed to bright white when using dark mode rather then the green/blue on main forum page, seems kinda stupid as its very glaring?

 

same white glaring text when using iPhone in dark mode

I wish the normal mode text was bolder and more contrasting. Would be so much easier to read

There's a stupid pop-up which prevents me reading classified adverts both in Chrome and Edge (Windows 11) - the x to close the pop-up disappears off the top of the screen: image.png
