There is now a dark theme available for this site.

To select it:
- Under your profile menu (upper left, where your name is), choose "Look and Layout".
- Press the first button to change your "Current Theme".
- Choose "VGF_Ebony" as your theme.

Note there are three theme selections, which allow you to choose the forum default (e.g., let us pick for you), "Curve Theme" (to always use the standard theme), or VGF Ebony. 

You cannot view this attachment.
Address the process rather than the outcome.  Then, the outcome becomes more likely.   - Fripp

Thanks I was wondering how that was done after Steve mentioned it as possible.

Is there a way to not have photo's load unless you click on it? Looking at the same ones eats data.

I really like the default SMF theme; it has a very clean and thorough mobile implementation.  So...  I just used this SMF mod to change the colors for the default SMF theme:

Note that there are MANY SMF themes...

But I like the default one.  Yes, lots of compromises...  But it seems to work best on full desktop vs mobile, most browsers, etc.

Not really.  Your browser should cache images, so you only get the download hit once in a while.

Note that some browsers are much better at caching than others.  E.g., I find Firefox much better at caching (i.e., much faster) than Chrome.

If you find yourself waiting for the same image to reload every time you visit a page, you should probably try another browser.
