Although I haven’t been a member of LG for that long, my personal view on the subject of changing LG would be to keep the appearance as is. I’m rather fond of the pixilated icons and outdated look, it’s almost nostalgic. Plus, it’s simple and works well, aside from the occasional error I’ve experienced where I can’t access the site.

I basically like the site as it is, I would not want to see any major changes. But minor tweaks such as page forward/back buttons on the forum and user lists would be good. I'll probably think of a few others, if I do I'll post back here.

Same here something small like the I's in the Logo could be bulbman or some type of bulb.

I'd like to see quoted text more clearly identified as such. As it is, it's difficult unless you do what we do and make the quoted text italic or maybe a different colour as I've seen at least one person do. Some forums I've been on put the quoted text in a box so it's easy to see who said what.

That was me lol, I change it to grey. I think Patrick Could probably set the quote text to be grey by default

Possibly, although personally I find italics easier.

I am in favor of leaving the site where it is now. Both as a legacy technology guy and as an IT guy



The current website is very clean, no bloat implementation. It does not have any excessive use of Javascript. In fact, it is completely usable with Javascript turned off, the only things that will be missing are resizing of comment windows and "click to close" on pictures in the gallery (you are welcome to test). It does not take disproportional RAM and CPU on the client's end. To me it's the gold standard for any software, including a website. In the same line with magnetic gear for lighting

Virtually anything based on "modern technologies" for websites nowadays, would rely heavily on Javascript or on some of the more resource intensive features of HTML, providing no benefit except for what some call "user experience", but it is a sort of "user experience" that in the bottom line provides just an opportunity to some web developers to show off, not to make a better website



As IT guy, it is more comlicated

The saying goes, that for security, software must be up to date

Most of the software this saying applies to, is complex modern software that does complex things. In the sense of a website this can include handling user credentials across APIs between platforms ("login with Facebook account", etc), handling complex content composition (like many "content management systems"), and so on. That's some of the places where security vulnerabilities show up the most. It definitely applies to msot modern website software

This website as it is, is a very simplish, hard coded system that has very little of those places where something could go wrong. It does not need to change because there is nothing going on security wise. Injections in user fields have existed since ever. If this system haven't been vulnerable to them for all those years when it was the newest system in town, they won't appear out of nowhere now just because it is getting older. There isn't much else that could happen with it...

The latter could be said about a system that would be developed nowadays along the same design lines, but most "modern website systems" are more like the former

This is about the website software itself. The systems it is running on (web server, SQL server, OS the machine is running, etc) must be maintained to stay secure

Or to uptade the gallery album photos here.

Those images will likely never be swapped out.

As Owen has said it's unlikely they will get changed as they are there purely to show examples of the type of photos in each gallery.

Yeah those, just like the bulb icons on each members avatar are considered a staple of LG. Even the green and blue theme.

But for dark mode, I think the colour for that should be a dark grey for the white, a darker grey for the blue border and a greyish green for the green parts.

I use a third party plug in. It'd be nice for night mode to be a native feature though.

Same here, although I don't use it that often.

Here is the design i think would look good if LG had the dark mode setting. Please see attached photo of my screen

I used gimp to change the colours in this screen shot, not perfect but gets the point across

Dark mode would be kinda nice to have, but as it is the colors are fine to me (though if there was a dark theme, I'd always use it instead of the light one).
