If I may make a little plea on my own behalf, in case no one else may feel the same...

Please..have mercy on us poor members who like to settle into a site with a consistent and predictable appearance? It almost seems like there is coming to be a 'color scheme of the day' thing going on, and I know it's just experimenting and getting everything 'just so'...but ..eerrm.. maybe a second set up outside the production website for all the experimenting? I don't know what to expect logging in from one day to the next.

What drives me nuts is seeing a great color layout and getting comfy with a smile..just to see it summarily trashed in less than a day, to go with another scheme as often returning to physically painful brightness (for a forum anyway) as anything else.

Just a plea from us folks in the cheaper seats here. Mercy please? Even a bad one to live with while choosing the perfect one to give us in the end ...would be better than a different one running both extremes, on a daily basis. At least in one bunny's humble opinion.

Thanks for hearing my plea!

I just noticed we could change that here and was coming back to share it, actually.

This should load each person's own page at the right spot

I'm used to sites that have their themes and that's that. Take it or leave it, and that usually means 1..or maybe 2 like TOS has for light/dark.

In fact, having found that now, I see there is a very long list of themes to choose from. :)

It seems to me like 3-4 dark background themes and 3-4 light background themes should please most folks . . . . at least be acceptable to most folks.

I guess folks can highlight to read but that's a bother.

That's nice of you but they want a set in stone Theme then they'll get a Theme.
I don't use that Theme changer in our profile, because it doesn't give you all the features of Hernando's Hideaway. Not all the Smiles Icons or some of your Profile commands or the header.
None of the new colors are Bright or Sharp or Glaring. I've done my best to keep them smoothing and sober.

But they don't like Holiday Colors or Change and Some Times Like I believe in the Last Election, Change Can Be Good!

Then I'll Give Them Bland! Yekkkkkk!

But the dark blue background is greatly soothing and functional for my aging eyes. I'd be spending probably 95% less time on here without it.

Right now I have a new orange theme. Yesterday (or the day before) it was beige. I've tried all the saved themes and the dark blue was the only one that was workable for me but it wasn't as good as the dark blue default I get when logged out.

I haven't checked whether the beige was made one of the profile settings themes yet but it seems like every time I get used to a theme it changes. I can sympathize with Wrabbit.
