Like you, I was frustrated by the lack of a dark theme so created one. It's free, completely free and contains zero template edits, fully stock IPS templates which means as long as you don't edit any yourself, when you upgrade the theme will automatically update for you. No waiting around for developer updates before you can update your forum. The theme only contains CSS colour changes, it's rare that at this stage you will see any changes to the CSS that would break the colours. Now obviously when 5.x drops this most likely won't work, but should be fine for the duration of the 4.x series. Feel free to ignore, totally understand and despite creating this would still prefer an official one myself.

If it’s just to stop spammers why not setup a new users user group, same permissions but can only edit posts after 5 minutes. When they reach 50 posts for example, automatically promote them to the main user group where you have no edit restrictions. I had a member that through tantrums and asked for their accounts to be closed, when informed all their posts would remain they went and edited the last 100 or so with a middle finger image. Did find it slightly amusing at the time, but annoying, since then I have had a 5 minute restriction for everyone. Had no real complaints although it’s not a community that needs to revise 10 year old posts.

As the theme contains no template edits, they should all automatically be updated unless you have customised them yourself. If there is anything that looks wonky let me know and I'll take a look, running the same theme on my site not seen anything come up yet myself.

I don’t see how this is better, right now Create, Search and Unread Content are accessible with one press, moving them into the menu will make them 2 presses. The drop down menu doesn’t feel natural behaviour either. Not feeling any of this at all.

To think the above plugin is almost 2 years old now and not been considered as worthy of changing out the box is a bit daft. In my opinion obviously. But there is benefits to talking to yourself, never had one argument. I get along great with myself.

Previous search bar was much better a few versions back, both in appearance and functionality. I’m sure it defaulted to this forum when you was inside one, and possibly topic, could be wrong, but don’t think I am. Also losing the ability to search within a topic on mobile is a major backwards step for me personally as I used this a lot. Now I have to reach for a tablet or MacBook to perform what was simple tasks.

But they don’t. I would like to see link previews as well, just think the request can be made without adding donkey poo statements like this.

Disagree, I’m the star on my forum. My mum told me.

I’m not on commission when I say this, but I wouldn’t be purchasing software with the intention of not paying the renewal fees and looking at it as a one time purchase. It’s not just new features and bug fixes you’re getting, but important security updates and the support for when things go upside down. Each to their own I guess, but as an administrator of a website which is holding peoples personal data, I feel responsible to ensure my site is running the most up to date and secure software. $80 over 6 months is $0.44 a day, that’s like 1/4 of a cup of coffee, we’re not talking of I need to sell the house to pay for this numbers. Worth factoring these costs in with the monthly server fees and asking yourself can I afford to do this before purchasing, if not there is free options available. Apologies if this sounds fanboyish, actually I don’t apologise for sharing my opinion. Don’t agree, that’s perfectly fine, as I say each to their own.

I only found an issue when I went back to read an old topic and noticed side scrolling going on. After nailing the post and grammarly user which caused it, went back through the members post history to find multiple pages effected by it. Was an easy fix in the end, I told him I would ban him if he didn’t stop using it. He stopped. 😄

Dear me, what are your visitors thinking, 49.4% Android? Ouch! 😂

Let’s be honest it wasn’t “perfect”, notifications were better pre 4.4.4, but still had room for improvement. It would be nice for notifications not to be automatically marked as read just because you open up the notification pop up, and only marked as read when clicked on. If they can figure that one without this having to load the last page, or reappearing, perfection will be achieved.
