It probably is a bug.
A very… flashy one.
I imagine it'll be noticed soon, if it hasn't been already.

Most likely they updated the forum version they are using and it some reason reverted back to the base version of it.

I'm so glad I saw this post when I loaded the forum up. I thought my phone and/or internet had cacked their metaphorical pants.

Everything is so hard for me to read with the white background 😵

Yeah not a fan of the white background hard to read

Oh my gosh this is awful. The white gives the forum a horrible clinical look. Its hard on the eyes too.

Holy flashbang batman I don't check these forums for a week and it's collapsing.
Well hopefully this means mods will report it to the devs will finally have to improve the forums

On a more serious note: Was it a techical issue at Vanilla (the hosting platform), that caused everything to become bright white?
And also, the various things like points, views and stuff we normally don't see, it really added more depth into the scoring system, and how things work.
Third: When will the ability to change profile avatars be a thing again?1 -
- yes they did an update and it broke all the theming we had
- yes there's things that can be switched on / off on our side depending on requirements
- I do not think that's returning as it's not showing in their future plannings.

In any case, that third one has been a talking point for a while, since it broke many months ago at this point, and profile avatars is something that every other forum has, and some even allows uploads of custom avatars

Regarding the avatar thing, that's a little curious, isn't it? Any idea why Vanilla would decide to drop the avatar system altogether? It just seems integral to the functionality of a forum—being able to see who's who at a quick glance.

what happened to avatars? does this mean I can't change from Pinhead anymore?
1 -
There was a workaround floating around some months ago, but I am not sure if it works anymore.

dark mode is back for me

They fixed dark mode, but the issue of not being able to change profile avatars is still present
