Would a Dark Mode skin be possible?
 
I admit I might be getting spoiled by other websites that have a Dark Mode option available (Facebook, Reddit, etc.), but after looking at those other sites, the bright white of FlyerTalk is starting to become rather jarring to my eyes.

Has there been any consideration for trying to get a Dark Mode skin option on FlyerTalk?

I believe it's been brought up before. I'll ask tech if that can be implemented.

In the absence of any upvoting scheme for feature requests, +1 for this from me :)

Any progress on the Dark Mode?

This bright white page is to bright.

You must be new here :p

I'm still waiting from 4+ years ago for a feature that IMO seems blindingly obvious for a group that caters to frequent travelers, is trivial to implement, and can easily be made opt-in :)

Should have asked you 1st I guess, What answer did you get about Dark Mode?

Actually it was intended humorously (and I did see your join date) :) :) :)

Basically this is a core feature that needs to go through multiple teams to implement

I'm familiar with a couple of other enthusiast forums that have the same overall look and they have had a dark mode option for 20 years.

Would you and your teams like to speak to them so they can help you folks out?

They do not use the same forum software as we do. It's not really a matter of being difficult, more about time to develop/implement versus workhours. We could implement it on FlyerTalk alone and then it would immediately break (and likely destroy formatting for everyone) when we update the site, since it isn't part of the vBulletin 3.9.X core software.

Nice it would be, the Dark Mode.

When its added correctly its an opt in feature, How would it impact everyone else who didn't opt in?

I don't know, I'm not a tech person. This is what I have been told.
