Slowly going blind reading the forums late at night? Tired of borderline unusable desktop layout on mobile? Look no further than the official Dinkleberg-sanctioned dark theme: Volare.
Gabe already made an announcement about this when we first made it available here, but seeing some comments asking about a dark theme made me realize we don't have any official guide (it's easy I promise).
Easiest Way!!!
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the Quick Theme Select dropdown. Select Volare from the dropdown

More Annoying Way :/
1) Go to the user control panel using the dropdown in the navbar

2) In the sidebar under "Your Profile", select "Edit Options"

3) Under "Other Options", use the "Board Style" dropdown to select the Volare theme

That's it, now you have dark forums. It's not quite as refined as the Flow theme is, but it's largely usable. I use it exclusively and don't typically have problems.
If you spot any issues (bugs, illegible text, ugly layout, etc.), please make a post in Website Suggestions, or reach out to me directly.
