I think this is the point in the discussion where I usually say that if everyone who responds to a lamentation of forum demise thread would just respond to other threads and start their own then we wouldn't be having this discussion.
I could stand for the damned thing to be more readable on a phone though. No more blowing it up and shifting back and forth.

Tapatalk works pretty well?

Yeah. I get it. For playing Thief FMs I use a laptop with a 17” (43cm) screen. Some FMs are stunningly attractive and you can really appreciate the detail, much superior to the originals of 20 years ago. If during the game I need to check a forum-thread for a spoiler or a YouTube walkthrough, I can switch across easily, and have no problem with the format of Thief FM threads. Naively for a long time I thought that Thief was the main reason everyone was here but I can understand the challenges there must be if you just want to read messages on a phone. For my part I don’t have a smart phone (I don’t even have a TV etc etc). HaHa. Yeah. We’re different communities. I'm probably in a community of 1. :D

You do know that there's a Mobile theme, selectable from the theme selector in the bottom-left corner, right?
It's an ugly white with no TTLG theming, and certainly no dark theme, but I believe it's functional apart from being hideous.

Until thins post I didn't even know that we had a theme selector.
Aged Raver on 11/3/2021 at 12:56
No I don’t think I did either. Did you do both? The Nameless Voice’s Dark Theme is quite restful. It’s almost like being back in the good old DOS days. Thank you!
Nameless Voice on 11/3/2021 at 13:08
No, I just made the dark theme. I use it myself, though it's a little buggy (I missed a few seldom-used pages.)
I had thought of making a dark mobile theme at some point, but never got around to it.

Whatever happened to the plan to get rid of the front page and just have it go directly to the forums index?
The last piece of news there is from 2016.
I don't know about the plan but we have actively tried to organise front page updating but people get busy and fall by the wayside. I'll bring the 'dump front page' topic up again in the staff forum.

Or just redo it as a static page rather than a news feed. This keeps coming up every time there is a TTLG is dying thread.
