Talk to @Glitch here about design of the forum. He'll love it, I promise!

Too bright! It burnsss uss, precioussss. (But not enough that I've overcome laziness to greasemonkey it into submission)
Other than that, several people have asked me wtf is up with the front / main index sort of page and its weird boxy things. I mostly ignore those and jump right to unread/alerts.
Overall: it seems sufficient so far?
-
I'm actually starting to like it.
I'm fairly certain this means I've gone mad.
-
I like it this way, I'll be honest. (It also looks less questionable up on my work computer because it blends in well with library stuff.)
-
Well, I do agree that the dark-text-on-white style should probably be a default and always available as an option.
Making things blend in-- either for prying eyes, or to match the rest of an existing GUI environment is what most of us are trying to do. My "work" environment is generally either emacs in dark-mode or a bunch of terminal windows, which default to dark background. Bizarre example of my primary workstation. (XMonad wm, invisible; Emacs 24 with Haskell mode; XMobar status)
I suspect we all have very different aesthetic goals.

The way the low level boxes do not line up bothers me.

But on the positive, thank god there are no emoticons!

THIS.
But sometimes... sometimes, inline images might be nice. Probably not worth what other people would use them for, though.
-
Oh god. The emoticons. Please kill it. Please.
-
Really needs a way to turn the emoji off.
-
Because we're tacky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(A good Weird Al parody.)

More useful that emoji images would be spoiler-folding.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Coffea arabica that thoughts acquire speed, the table acquires stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

UGH. WHY?

Reasons!!
I like the way it looks. It's really pretty on my phone to boot.

We have an emoticon for a love hotel now, apparently.
I'm calmly waiting for the day it's relevant, because some day, knowing this crowd (collectively, generically, maybe both), it will be.
It may even be the kind of thing that stands with no other comment necessary, if another Shang drama thread kicks off some day!
A girl can dream!

I have such a sadness.
Wait!
There's!

!Adorable!

Okay, this will do nicely. -
I have commenced incorporating more cephalopods into my posting.
