Safari 14 now makes it trivially easy to see what trackers are trying to follow you on what web sites. Cheers.

Yes I'm seeing a number of XenForo sites appearing with this feature, and the respective members seem to love it (it gives them a convenient choice).

A nice simple toggle on the default theme is all we're asking. No more, no less. Can anyone do it without having two themes, as Day_'s looks brilliant and works well having used it.

This what I do:
For major dot upgrades (e.g. 4.4.x=>4.5.0) I will back up the database and file structure first (as mentioned above). I would usually wait until 4.5.1 is out (to resolve any initial release niggles).
For minor upgrades (dot dot), I will just hit the upgrade button when it's out.
Having run forums for more than 20 years, I now run vanilla installations. It's a life-saver.

I tried the "post before registering" once, but switched it off after a couple of days due to the spam entries in the records. I laud its intended idea.
Personally I've taken a very different approach in the past year and it's high barrier, not low barrier
Visit my site and you get a fairly blank/minimalist home page. New member applications are only taken one day a week. All new registrations are admin approved and have to fill out a special profile field correctly first to help pass validation. Erased from Google. Erased from The Wayback Machine. "Word of mouth" beats any potential "drive-by" traffic. So a high barrier, but I believe that the future of specialist communities (that forum software encourages) is security and privacy rather than "lowest barrier/truck them all in".  Though I suspect how effective that is depends on how established your site is.
The result is no spam, anyway (and a relative haven for users, who increasingly value privacy).

I remember this kind of thing in the early 2000s (different software). It wasn't popular. As long as it can also not be customisable, fine.

With the number of calls for it from my visitors I'd be tempted to make any official "Dark Theme" the default and the current "white" theme as the alternate option – but that's just my own case.

We get contact form spam. It’s being used by human spammers so they overcome Invisible reCaptcha.
Invision Power: Please allow Q&A to be used with the contact form - as that would do the trick. Thanks!

Because they wouldn't know the answers to the questions on a specialist web site - nor could they look them up.
That is why.
