Just to confirm @CraigB you are setting the switch permanently via your Modify Profile >> Look & Layout  ?

Not in Look & Layout, doing it via Profile/Forum Profile, choosing the Sunrise option down the bottom right then clicking Change Profile, the green bar appears saying my profile has been changed successfully but on sign out and back in it's back to Blackbox.

Refer to Reply #2 above. 😉

Bit you should be in Look and Layout to be able to save it permanently.

[Surferdude]

That was the only process by which I could get it to stay.

That's your answer then

The dropdown switcher is a 'this session only' setting. It won't persist across logins.

Well fxxk me it works, that's embarrassing sorry about all the kerfuffle Steve and thanks for changing it for me

Gave the Sunrise theme a decent chance over several days, now back to my Blackbox.

[Shambles]

Thanks for the feedback @The Gonz - the responsiveness of SunRise/SunSet makes for better viewing on a phone, I find.

[Surferdude]

I'm happy with Sunrise given the way it actually fits on phone and tablet screens.
Pretty clean layout on the desktop too.

[Shambles]

Thanks for the feedback @Surferdude - now where's that "thank you" button disappeared to...

That may well be its strong suit. In my case, with a government secure phone, it's not something I use.

@Shambles , can we also get a link to "All unread posts" at the bottom of the page? Or is one of those many symbols a shortcut in disguise?

I'll get on it shortly - thanks for the reminder

Hi

In trying to keep up with the rest of the interweb, we now have a highly-responsive theme which you can select via your profile (or temporarily via the theme switcher at the lower right hand side of every page).

Sunrise, as well as being adaptive to your screen size, includes a switch that allows you to move from Sunrise to Sunset with the click of a button. Hopefully that should satisfy those who prefer a darker appearance.

This new theme means that anyone using Tapatalk should be able to get the same level of usability with Sunrise, using a standard browser.

So, I got out after two weeks in the dock, on a f&&&ing covid ward.  For anyone who doesn't understand the implications of being on a covid ward that means essentially confined to a room, not allowed out and quacks and nursy people virtually coming in wearing HAZMAT suits AAAaaRRRGGGHHH.  I signed in and thought, oh no I've come to the wrong URL <sigh`> Dementia day, but oh no, Steve has had is decorating kit on and painted the walls and such :-).   Well done Steve, I like it. 

[The Gonz]

How are you now, Asa?

I figured the best place to put it was here:

I can't see it.

OK thanks for asking, I am determined to catch up with Alan :-)

[Shambles]

I can't see it.

It's on the bottom of a page of a topic, not every page.

So, if (eg) you've clicked the 'new' icon to read this, the button will be below this reply

[Shambles]

If it still doesn't show, try a hard refresh of your browser (ctrl+F5 in Windows)

Fixed, thank you.

I was going to "Thank" Shambles for adding the (+Unread Posts) button at bottom of the page, but the "Thanks" button top right of individual posts seems missing in the new Sunrise theme. Is that intentional ?

I noticed that right away, which is one reason why I'm back with Blackbox.
Rumour has it we're going to trial a [Like] button instead.

[Shambles]

I've adjusted several aspects of the new theme; please reconsider your usage of the ailing BlackBox alternatve

[The Gonz]

... please reconsider your usage of the ailing BlackBox alternatve

Is it preferred to eliminate the Blackbox theme altogether? I thought it was just a matter of more choice. If it needs to go, who am I to stand in the way of progress?

[Shambles]

Thing is, Herr Gonz, our overlord - Monsieur Google - deems our BlackBox theme as unresponsive and not conducive to viewports that require support for mobile devices, hence our degradation in google's rankings. Also hence, the 'ailing' descriptor.

Since the default theme is now a highly responsive Sunrise, members can choose BlackBox as their default theme if they so desire , but they (you?)  will miss out on certain features only available during the SunRise viewport which I may be unable to port to BlackBox 

[The Gonz]

Eggzellent! I switched to Sunrise 24 hours ago. 

[AlanHo]

I have capitulated and changed to sunrise. I guess Steve has been got at by the woke brigade and trying to avoid the term "black" at all costs.

In so doing has he fallen into a trap set by the Wokists? and will now stand accused of choosing a white theme.   

[Shambles]

it's not a white theme - it's half and half - you can click the   icon and change to sunset colouring.

[The Gonz]

That was the dealmaker for me. I saw I could switch to permanent vampire mode, so I'm happy.
