Forum themes?

Yeah I figured it was time. Also considering one for FreeRADIUS and for Routing packages (FRR, Quagga) since they also seem to pile up in the main packages category

Anyone else seeing a lot of these:-

A few times, yes. But it got fewer the last days. After the initial switch to nodebb I saw them quite often.

BTW: another thing popped up a few seconds ago: "As a new user you only may post every 120s before you get 3 posts (or upvotes? - can't remember)" 120s aren't that bad, but I reply very quickly to many threads - and I don't consider myself an new user exactly :D

Edit: It's
Als neuer Benutzer kannst du nur einen Beitrag innerhalb von 120 Sekunden erstellen bis dein Ansehen 3 erreicht hat - Bitte warte bevor du erneut einen Beitrag erstellst. (in german)

So it's 3 upvotes from posts before being able to post faster. That would be OK - but I suppose most users don't even know/see the upvote thingy (the little ^0) below a post god forbid even click it ;) Perhaps should be more clear what it does and how to use :)

ngy (the little ^0) be

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could find for days now how up up vote ... and was a bit scared to ask for not passing as the most stupid one today.
I found it - up voted your post (as @jimp did 30 sec ago) - some else will vote and deliver you soon.

@jegr Done , can I get 3 as well?

The whole idea is that you should post 3 "quality posts" (or, like me 2k5 pure ramble)
But ok, during the forum introduction every reason is valid, so there you go - done.

my post wasn't meant as a collector for upvotes, merely to point out it's hard to find how to give someone - hmm I always consider it a thank you! - for his post and his time. Perhaps an additional text like "upvote/thanks" next to the "^" will do that :)

Yeah, I thought it to be some kind of "jump to top" button at first.
Not obviously the "thanks" action. Make it have an icon.

I notice that on dark themes like Cyborg, the small Reply icon is all-white and unreadable until you mouse-over it.

It's a little more obvious when downvoting is enabled since there are up and down arrows, but we turned off downvoting. I don't know that we can put any text there, though. Not easily, anyhow.

If you can't add text, can you at least change the symbol from the up arrow to something more recognizable, like a ?

That turned out to be easier than expected, how does it look now? :-)

I tried making it larger but it appears to be stuck inside that small space for the moment. If I enlarge the picture it just gets cut off. There is probably some extra CSS trickery to make it work, I'll bug someone else here that is much, much (much much) better with CSS than I am later.
