Light themes can still look great and modern and be easy on the eye, despite a trend at the moment towards dark, but the most important thing about fora is readability, secondary even to branding.

Re: Did the forum change styles?
I don't find it as bad on my phone, for whatever it's worth.
I'm going to try a couple other styles when I get home, see if I like how they look.

Re: Did the forum change styles?
For those that prefer the old look, I have made an exception and created a user-selectable style that mimics the old look. (Replacing some replaced textures with flat colors.)
To select this style, go into User Settings, then choose Edit Options from the list on the left. Then scroll all the way down to the bottom section of Miscellaneous Options. There you can go to the Forum Skin section and choose the Classic Forum Colors option from the drop down menu. Save your settings and you should be back to the old look. I will continue adjusting the new look at a later time. |

Re: Did the forum change styles?
If the text colour is #000000, and the background colour of posts is #181200 (I am out of practice reading CSS) then webaim estimates the contrast ration as 1.12 and rates it insufficient https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ The old background colour #E8C54A gave a contrast ratio of 12.5 to 1 by the same source.
