New color scheme of news articles is less pleasant

[Swarf 110]

I greatly prefer the old color scheme and find it much easier to view and more pleasant with its blue tones than the new format which is much darker and feels somehow less enjoyable.  Perhaps consider making a poll to see which option people most prefer.

As an aside, is there any update on the comment box issue?

Hey, unfortunately, we don't have anything to share at this time.

Still nothing about comments returning? Site feels somewhat "empty" without having ability to leave comments!

Agreed. I have loved Icy Veins over the years because there was always good discussion to be had. It felt more like a community than any other site. Without the comments section though, the articles are very empty and coming to the forums feels a bit removed from the articles. Just really miss the old format but it seems there's no option for going back.

We're exploring some options to bring back the comments, but for now, there isn't anything specific to share. When there's news, we'll definitely post an update here. Regarding the new design, the goal is to move away from the outdated IPB platform entirely.

I wasn't a frequent commenter really but did enjoy having the option to comment if I wanted to, and it was good to browse the comments of others.  As someone else mentioned, the site feels empty and detached now that the option to comment is no longer there. 

There have been some good things posted on the site lately that I would have commented on but couldn't.
