As you might have noticed, we’re making some changes to this forum to make it more pleasant to use!
If you’ve got feedback, please post it here!
This thread is for feedback on these forums, not with the VRChat application.
I’ll start off by posting that this forum is currently using the Air theme from Discourse’s official repo. It wasn’t customized all that much and, due to how we’re running this forum, we have a limited capability to customize it. We don’t have the resources to make small changes and tweak things like CSS layouts.
If you like, dig through that repo and find ones you like! Post them here and we’ll take a look.
A thought: we could fork a theme repo and then open it up for PRs. That way, everyone can contribute changes to the theme that they think can help out. A bit more advanced but we can all together make changes, rather than try to pin our hopes on Strasz and I finding time to tweak CSS.
I can’t guarantee that we’ll accept all changes, but I wouldn’t mind small tweaks that’d make it easier to use these forums.
Another thought: we could install a bunch of themes that people would like, and you can swap between them using your User Preferences page.
They have a theme that changes Discourse into… Reddit? Some users might enjoy that
If nothing else, it shows how powerful Discourse’s theming system is.
You could for example follow this: Official - VRChat Ask Forum and see all posts directly in your Fediverse app (Mastodon, Tusky, Megalodon, Ivory etc), read it, like it and comment as if it was a social media post.
Wordpress similarly added built in support for ActivityPub a while ago so you can now copy paste the URLs of blog posts, and paste them directly into Mastodon search, and then follow blogs with it enabled. WordPress now offers official support for ActivityPub - The Verge
With the extension enabled, you could for example open this post, read and like it directly from Mastodon.
All depends on how you configure the extension, you could even allow users to comment on it, but that may be a bit too free and risk spam.
Sure thing! Here is an example of a Discourse feed being shown in Mastodon using the ActivityPub plugin.

All I care about currently is the default theme. While I was using the site, it went from the default gray to a much darker gray that’s nearly black.
This darker gray is hurting my eyes and making the text harder to read. As much as I love dark mode, this new default theme color is hurting. I’d love if it could be reverted.
I could just run custom CSS with stylus, but I’d rather see if we can revert the base color back.
Hey!
I’ve double checked across multiple mobile devices and also my browsers device toolbar and i can’t replicate the different colors. Could you check if you have a custom color scheme picked in your preferences → Interface?
They should be set to “VRChat Ask - Light 2.0” and “VRChat Ask - Dark 2.0”
Zeronoise does look nice.
I checked a few themes, but i haven’t used forums enough to be able to know what’s best for me.
So i’ll look at people suggestions in the meantime, but wouldn’t mind this one
This looks like you have the old theme cached, also double check your interface preferences, you might have an old color scheme picked that i unlisted.
