BLF After Dark, CSS theme [not relevant anymore]

Coscar, I updated and it was so easy I couldn’t believe it! I clicked on the Styles “S” in the bar at the upper right of the screen, then clicked options, it opened up in a new window and I saw an updates button, clicked it and it pretty rapidly downloaded the update TK applied…piece of cake. Closed the new window and right before my eyes the yellow smiley top-of-their-heads vanished. :smiley:

Thanks Dale………. I tried that and it seemed like it did d/l an update, but it didnt apply for some reason……Now all I see is an ‘update styles’ button that doesnt seem to do anything……. its saying Sept 10 was the last update but its still there…… just my ‘murphy’s law’ life.

I like Dark Reader, using Dynamic theme.

Hmm… not sure what failed, but I pushed up a really minor change just now so it should be possible to attempt an update again.

If that still doesn’t work, it might be necessary to copy/paste the code into the edit widget in Stylus. Or maybe uninstall and reinstall the theme. Not sure which would be better for forcing an update.

Update works fine for me. Done 2 days ago, on Firefox browser. No more bright yellow bald heads at the top of the “Recent posts” page. Thanks, ToyKeeper!

FYI, that one offending link (http://i49.tinypic.com/344twz9.png) is in one other place inside your CSS. You can see it when you go to forum statistics at the bottom of this page:

Thanks, I almost never look at the /forum page. Anyway, the stats box is fixed now.

Once in a while I like to check the members list, it’s always staggering to me how many members we have and how so few are actually online. Getting close to 30,000 members, rare to see 100 online at one time.

Just now I looked, we have 29,660 members with 49 signed in at present. Kinda sad really that we can’t get higher participation than that. Not many giveaways happening at the moment I guess…

Instaled :wink:

My eyes start to need some things like this already :wink:
Thanks TK! :nerd_face:

im confused, where do u search for theme? installed stylus but after that im lost…. dont see anything in options to search for themes.

userstyles.org ? i search blf nothing happens……

Go up about 3 post up to Toykeepers last post and click here sig tag “BLF after dark”
That takes you to where its hosted with instructions, the first post in ths thread. :+1:
I been using it for a year or so and really like it, saves my eyes.

ah got it working now… that website was awful slow for some reason… wow what a difference…. i waited this long to find out this haha…… i hate all white now its better… :smiley: thanks

Necrobump!

Looks like I'm late to the party...

I just installed After Dark.

It looks amazing!

Thanks you TK!

I feel like BLF isn't complete without this dark theme :)

Yep, now I'm totally into dark themes for every site that I use.

Unfortunate, some sites don't have a good looking dark theme like BLF After Dark.

By the way, I think most web browsers have extensions or add-ons that enable dark mode for websites.

For Chromium-based browsers, I like the extension "Super Dark Mode."

I think BLF After Dark is better than using Super Dark Mode, but SDM is good for websites that don't have an excellent dark mode option.

I ditched Super Dark Mode.

Now I'm using the extension Midnight Lizard.

It makes adjusting some colors easy.

I don't use it on some sites, like BLF, but it's nice for other sites.

We should probably unpin this thread, since it’s not relevant any more.

Additionally, this entire forum category seems to have a bunch of threads which are still pinned despite no longer being relevant. Perhaps these should be unpinned too? Or, in some cases, updated to show current info. Here are some suggestions:

Unpin:

  • [2019-03-08] Reported posts meter and list removed
  • [2018-11-30] Report post button
  • Having trouble accessing BLF? Here’s a guide to the web browser Opera that may help.

  • BLF After Dark, CSS theme
  • [26-MAR-2014] CPF discussion threads temporarily closed
  • [08-Mar-2012] New SPAM mitigation scheme in place

Update maybe, or unpin?

  • How to move a thread
  • [17-DEC-2012] Please read: (1) Controversial topics and (2) Use of the SPAM button
  • How to add embedded Youtube videos to reviews and posts.

Is this still relevant?

Stay pinned? (and maybe update)

  • Guidelines for Commercial Liaisons and Affiliate Linkers
  • [05-FEB-2013] How to deal with trolls

  • Welcome to BudgetLightForum!
    (maybe unpin since there’s a newer version of this thread?)

Fewer pinned threads means people are more likely to read them… and makes all the other threads easier to reach in the category’s topic list.

It may also be worth unpinning any threads which are linked from the sidebar, like the rules, since there’s a more visible link already available. Not sure if they’re better pinned or not though.

Thanks @ToyKeeper for reminding me to do this.

Good point, I unpinned these two:

As it stands now I just left 4 pinned topics:
