Did you know that if you hover over the lower left corner of the screen, a button appears that will take you to the top of the page? I never use it, but it's a neat QOL.

Meanwhile, I have a browser tab permanently dedicated to Bookmarked Threads and just middle click all the last read posts to open them in new tabs. It's been months since I last clicked the stuff at the top or bottom.

I think ZDR added them, and then people got so upset about them always being visible that he made them hidden until you approach the corner. And also on both sides while he was at it.

To whoever worked on Dark mode. I really love it, but I wish my tank icon was the same whitish color as the other icons that are changed when you enter dark mode. Is it possible I can get a fix for it?

It really did make the forum super fuckin fast the month it was turned on. (Oh hey, regular maintenance by people who know what they're doing also makes the forums a lot faster? And doesn't cost $2k a month? Wow, imagine that!)

I need to correct that; after looking into it, the $1500 was "it was on for the whole month" after all. Over 15,000 GB @ $0.10/GB. The $500 it cost him the previous month would have covered about a week and a half of use, and should have been enough of a red flag on its own.

Here is my major complaint with dark mode. Now text looks extra saucy when it's bolded so I have no other choice than to BOLD POST for every post. Now, this isn't really so much a problem for me but other posters might get kind of jealous and I might start like a whole thing and I'm sure all these extra bolded letters have to cost extra,

Boldposting costs at least 7 bytes more per post. Please, consider the bandwidth costs my family is dieing

What I found most devastating was that the "servers down" screen was not in Dark Mode   Also that I can never update my browser or the beautiful colored pencils in their own tab will go away
