@rnottelovesowls I swapped out the colour inverter with a new function that basically tries to keep the colour, but make it darker of lighter depending on your theme; it still needs some tweaks, to tune it in right, but let me know what you think!

i'm starting to hate this new "time format", its kinda messing up my flow a bit.


Please bring it back...

(or at least, make it off by default)

You can turn it off.

Go to your profile, click on "Look and Layout" under Settings & profile in the sidebar, then scroll down to Time Format and uncheck Dundee mode. Then scroll down and click Change profile.

i feel bad for those people who are reading logged out.

Part of my logic for this is that the vast majority of "people" reading the forum logged out, are not people, they are bots and crawlers. I think there is genuine poetic value is disconnecting from time as a human, but I also think there is genuine practical value in taking away time context from bots scraping the forum.

i want it on record that i like the new time format!
like dotmidi said above, i also hope it encourages people to reply to older topics! i think the reverse-chronological feed format of most websites online today has made people overvalue newness. i don't like the notion that people should only read or respond to what's happening right now, or that anything more than a few days old should fade into irrelevance (...until maybe one day it becomes old enough to classify as "retro" and gets renewed interest). the topic-based organization of a forum allows us to build on ideas in a different way than most other social spaces online, and i think this is a refreshing way to embrace that difference!

taking info away from bots is a nice bonus too.
