As those who use use our Dark Styles have accidently learned... I am working on things. Trying to freshen things up.
Let me tell you the story how this came about.
I talked with someone from Google Adsense the other day and they suggested that I am missing out on revenue for the site as I don't have an ad in what they consider the highest paying site for a website like ours, the top right in the header.
This Xenforo software with UI.X is hard to modify and I tried for about a day to put an add in the header on the top right. I couldn't get it.
My wife suggested I ask ChatGPT. Now I haven't really used ChatGPT before. I toyed with it to make and clean up graphics before but that was really about it.
So I went to chat GPT and said "Can you please help me add a 720x90 ad space in the header of my website and give me the HTML code to do this?"
To which it asked me for the website address which I gave it, it took a look and said sure I can help, I can give you the code, but I notice you are running the Xenforo forum software and are using the UI.X style. Looking at your site, I can not only help you with the ad in the header, but I can help you make the site look more modern instead of the generic Xenforo / UI.X look it has now. Would you like me to help with this?
I said sure.. and off we went.
It then asked me if I wanted it to alter the sites style code our just make all the changes via the CSS. Since I have never done this before I told it just alter the CSS code. And it said sure and started giving me code to past into our extra_css file. After each change it would ask for a screenshot to check its work. Yesterday I uploaded over 200 screenshots to ChatCPT as it worked to modernize our look. If I didn't like something I would let it know and it would agree with me and make changes until I was happy.
I was amazed at how well it knew our software and how it also knew a lot of our plugins and worked to make changes that worked with our plugins.
Now as some folks noticed... I made changes to the dark theme.. and did so by mistake. I thought I was working on the private test dark theme I made. Whoops.
Today I will revert back to the old Dark Theme and apply the CSS changes to the proper test theme. I am reading your feedback and folks seem to like the changes, and I am also making note of what people would like to see tweaked as well.
The reason for reverting back is because I want ChatGPT to do it all again, but this time I want it to modify the style code, which should make things even better, as changes are limited in just the .css code. So I am making another set of test styles and will let ChatCPT go crazy and see how good it can make the place look.
When its done I will place all the test styles online and let you guys pick which one you like best.
I never knew ChatGPT could do this and was well versed on Xenforo. am amazed as its like working with a person who knows what they are doing.
So stay tuned! Good stuff is coming.

You spoiled me with the new one. As you are proving...AI can be useful at times.
