Hi, Andrew!
Have you considered adding a dark mode option for the database/forum board? Often times I check the website in the middle of the night and the current light themes are quite bright.
Thanks!

I currently use the
Dark Reader Vivaldi extension, but it doesn't work perfect with TPFC.

Will take a look later and see if there are any good dark themes available of phpBB.
If you know of a good phpBB dark theme, feel free to let me know.

I like the
DVGFX2 theme, but I don't know the technical limitations for implementing it.
Please, don't put much effort into it, especially if it might not be a popular request!
Thanks!

I have installed 3 dark themes:
1) DVGFX2
2) Lucid Lime
3) Prosilver (Dark Edition)
Try them out and lemme know which one you prefer. Personally, my favorite is (2).

Forums look great with DVGFX2 theme because of the higher contrast.
Thank you very much!
P.S. Would prefer if the
Prosilver (Dark Edition) theme would have the
Grey color scheme enabled instead of the default
Blue one.
Edit: forums theme is separate from the main website one, right?

Barely dare uttering this newbie inquiry to the-powers-that-be :
How, pray tell, does one activate dark mode
...

Yeah unfortunately. The main website never does support themes.
One possibility might be to use a browser extension like
Tampermonkey and patch the main website's CSS to your liking.

Yes, this one really seems easier on the eyes. Thanks!
