Default Dark Mode?

Does this forum have a way to select dark mode to make it easier on my old eyes? I'm using a laptop with Windows 10 if that makes a difference.

No, there currently is no dark mode available by the site. While the software allows the website the ability to program different styles, it's extremely inefficient in doing so and is why CorvetteForum currently does not have such a style programmed. It is something the team is discussing as to possibly finding a workaround.

Some browsers allow you to use a dark mode. Firefox, for example, allows a dark mode using the settings in the accessibility area.

Thanks for the quick reply. ... I had noticed that some websites offered the option and others didn't appear to. I understand now that it is a business decision by each website manager.

Some websites may not have the ability with the software they're using and some websites may simply not have one programmed. In CorvetteForum's specific case the issue is the software, while it does have the ability to allow us to program a "dark mode", it is done so inefficiently that it can create issues. It doesn't simply allow the ability to pick a different set of colors. Instead, it requires maintaining a complete set of templates and that's where overhead (performance and maintenance) make it an issue. The team is looking to find a way around to offer a dark mode (different colors) without having an entire set of duplicate templates just for font and background color changes.
