I also prefer the old one
Spoiler
This one is kinda annoying

Especially is you use dark mode.. Could you switch it back please? It's very hard to read in this new one.. Plus, some inactive members I know like to view the forum as guests (So they don't get people's hopes up) This will mean they're unable to see anything is a spoiler.. (Like fan art, fics, etc.)

Ja, we were aware that would likely be a problem. I updated the AfterDark CSS file not too long after the announcement, but to get it, you will need to hard-refresh the page, as mentioned in an update to the announcement. Here's the link describing that procedure. (https://help.packback.co/hc/en-us/articles/360003031611-How-can-I-hard-refresh-my-browser-) When it is properly done, spoilers in AfterDark should look like this. There's probably room for improvement, but it is at least legible.

As far as visibility for guests, I've made the necessary adjustment to ensure guest equality. I thought the hidden spoiler thing could be popular, based on how members have reacted to guests being able to view things in the past (hence making things like the Hideouts or Front Lawns hidden), but that guess takes second place to how members actually use the forum.

There's more that I hope to say relating to this subject and the subject of feedback in general very soon, as soon as circumstances make it possible, but I wanted to get the needful information out to you more quickly than that.

I have refreshed.. It didn't work. I even switched themes, then switched back. It's still beige for me...

Do you two always stay logged in? If so, please try logging out and back in, and see if that fixes the problems. You might also want to try clearing your data cache, if you use Edge (https://www.lifewire.com/clear-cache-microsoft-edge-4156806), Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache), or Chrome (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en)

Tell us if these don't help.

I mean, it seems to work alright. We may as well give it a fair shot. I think that's basically what spoilers look like on the new forum hosting thingy, so we should probably get used to it.

Also, the new ability to have laser battles is awesome. Thanks!

A little late but:

Thank you for changing things back.

However............

NEVER CHANGE THE SPOILER TAG AGAIN

Also, make me, Scott McLamok, and Ally046 mods so you'll never try anything like this again

Erm...No...I'd make a terrible mod....

We'd only virtually beat them up whenever they try to "fix" a good thing again.

Mod: It is worth noting that the spoilers were originally changed to solve a bug that had popped up and because the spoiler mod we had (and changed back to) is older and less supported.
Nevertheless, this topic is no longer needed because changes were reversed days ago and shall be locked.
