Think we should get rid of "N Views" while we're at it. No one cares. Maybe it could go on the actual thread page somewhere in case the thread starter is interested but mostly seems like noise in the listing.
In the audiobus forum, we have a "Mark all viewed" option. It would be nice to have here too, because not all discussions are of interest. With this option, one could read the discussions of interest and then mark the rest as viewed.

I do most of my reading on dark backgrounds because the white background starts causing eye strain after a while.
Got to say, I feel much better with the dark side over here - much less stress on my eyes.
Interesting how different people can feel...
For me it’s the opposite. I feel more comfortable with the light theme but maybe it’s just a question of habituation .
But I have a workaround, so no problem...
If I would like to read black on white I can do this with my iPhone!
The mobile css is the same as AB Forum! 👍😎

Is it possible to have this a user choice? I assume there are setting that a moderator could theoretically set and then user could make the choice.
It's technically possible but it's not a trivial undertaking due to the way vanilla is set up.
In case there is ever any collation on this I prefer the lighter background, weirdly I find it less strain. Having said that I guess as many of us habituate both places the fact that it's different from AB might be a bonus...

Good ideas!
Added. Ignore away!
The ice on the cake would be that we are able to switch the overall color sheme from dark to light in our personal preferences.
For me the light theme from AB forum is much easier to read than here.
I think only few people prefer to read a manual, book or newspaper on black papers with white letters.
It’s really quite dark here... 😎

Done. Enjoy.

Very nice! 🙏
Thanks a lot and have a great day!

How do you edit a post? On AB forum there is a little gear on the upper right of the message window. I’m not seeing it here.
Never mind. I see it on this post. Can it be more than one hour? Sometimes I get sidetracked.

Well, speaking up here, I love this darker look. It's so much easier on the eyes for me. Wish I could do the same over at AB.

OK. I’m good. Just thought it might be worth asking now so that we know.
Thanks Will!
