Hey all, the Forum should now automatically display in Dark Mode if it detects that your device is in Dark Mode. Then you won’t be blasted with a bright screen at night if you come here.

If you don’t want to use Dark Mode, you can go to your Preferences, then to Interface, and uncheck this box:

This change won’t take effect until you reload the page in your browser.

Thank you, @jgw_atx, for letting us know that this was now an option on Discourse.
