IPS is continuing to work on the random but rather consistent 500 errors. They feel they have identified the issue and are working on getting it resolved.

@kevinf80 Click on the ID1405365 above your post by John L Galt and that should take you to the exact post, It works for me using FF or open it in a new tab and see if that works for you.

Just to note that those ID numbers in the top right of posts only show in the 'Wide - (Beta)' themes, they aren't there in the Standard themes.

D'oh 

That's why I don't see it and I've been scratching my head wondering what that was all about.

[Hardhead]

Sorry I didn't explain better David, Anyway there's still a bug in the new upgrade which I'm sure you have already seen that Alex posted here

I'm using the ID and just copied link location in FF and in Dark mode Wide beta.

Thanks!!

Also, Topic Starter had been replaced by a built-in Author badge that appears in the upper right of a post right next to the Post Options Menu and Post ID (post ID only on some themes due to testing)

Working on a new Theme but there are a few areas that are broken I still need to fix. It is available to try for members in Honorary or above. Once fixed properly we'll release to everyone if others like it.

Cosmos_4.5 (wide)

Love the new forums as well as the Theme's!!!

[Popeye]

So far I like the Cosmos_4.5 (wide) look. Thanks Ron. 👍

[digmorcrusher]

Cosmos wide looks great.

[AdvancedSetup]

Due to some old and outdated code in a couple of the Themes we will soon be removing these themes. We want to review and edit a couple other issues in other themes first before doing that though.

Malwarebytes 4.5
Malwarebytes Dark 4.5

If you're currently using one of the above themes we recommend that you please choose a different theme and if you would like to see changes please let us know.

Assuming all goes well we'll make all of the current themes available to everyone soon. We will more than likely restore one of the original Light IPS themes as the default for anyone that has not specifically chosen a different theme.

As we have time we'll see about adding any additional themes but just a reminder that themes are not a priority

Thank you everyone for your continued feedback.

 

[David H. Lipman]

If so...
Please REPLACE "Malwarebytes Dark 4.5" with one with a contrast exampled by "Malwarebytes Dark 4.5".  Cosmos is good but not "that good".  

[exile360]

I've settled on Dark Mode (Wide) - Beta as my theme.  I like the dark look using shades of grey rather than straight black (I'm using an IPS display, not OLED so showing true black has no impact on power or longevity of my display).

I like the subtle coloring in Cosmos that is not present in Dark Mode Wide beta.

I do like the additional contrast between dark and light colors (without going all the way to straight black and white the way the higher contrast themes do).  It's a bit bolder/more legible than the Dark Mode (Wide) beta theme.  Maybe they can replicate it with a few mods to the Dark Mode theme?

[John L. Galt]

Agreed, for pretty much the same reason.  It would be nice.

Cosmos for me. It's easier to read than Dark Mode Wide.

Night Mode Wide: too dark for me and Light Mode Wide I need sunglasses to read it.

ROFL

That will probably be the Default theme for those that have not specifically chosen one. But we may make some additional changes before doing so.

Thank you for the continued feedback
