Yeah, which is why the task has never been done before...I have either been too busy fishing, shooting or getting divorced (depending which era of the last 25 years we look at  )
I've been wanting to do it all that time but never had the motivation.
If ANY users of the site have any ideas of
a) what would be a better way to do things on here
b) bits to hide / demote as they are used so infrequently
c) new feature ideas (e.g. favourite Topics can be a list or dropdown on the homepage...which is something I sort of added a while back, but they only show when there's a new post in that Topic)
d) etc etc

Yes mate, if I don't fish tonight I might get the Topic list and Message pages sketched out, see how they look.
Also that page was a quick draft so needs to be tidied up and space used better
e.g. I don't need loads of space wasted with the big wording across the centre "CarpForum - The UK Carp Fishing Forum" and I should get a proper logo in place rather than the lift'n'shift use of the current one with nasty rectangular background.
The site will continue to run in it's current form, but new versions of pages will hopefully be developed quite quickly and run in parallel for anyone wishing to use the new design.
I need to question everything that's currently shown, I think there will be lots of little icons/options rendered (for example icons in the profile box to the left of this message) which RARELY get used. I can still make the options available but in a neater more modern way.
View profile could be under the users profile pic (which could be top right for example) and once you click it you go to your profile and there are options to edit it, change password, turn off mailing list etc etc (btw, some trivia in 25 years of the site running I have never sent out a single email to the mailing list...)

Ok Karlos, if you are happy to do it 
I just think people should know or remember that this site is your creation and when they ask for things that they should consider it's you that will do it. It's not going to be handed to some corporate faceless development team to do.

Responsive view for that page looks good on the mobile, but need to see threads and posts to really tell

The plan is to have both.
The current site is already written/done, so I can leave that in place...and then anyone who wants the more mobile friendly site can opt to use that site instead.

I don't like change.
I like things as they are.

So, maybe it's time I re-wrote the site, certainly the layout.
It's not very mobile friendly (sorry!)
I am happy to do this and have in fact just had a very quick bash at doing a responsive (as it's called in development circles) page which will respond (as the name suggests) to different screen widths.
Also, top right is a dark mode button 
Take a look...

DARK MODE...

Got to admit my phones in dark mode all the time when searching and if available on sites. I hate glare even on the lowest setting in the dark, I find it gives me eye strain even on the lowest brightness setting with adaptive turned off...to the point I have to turn it off as my eyes start weeping.

For iPhone (if anyone is wondering) you can put it in reader that works

Sorry if this has been suggested, I couldn't find anything with the search function.
Is it possible to have a dark mode for the forum?
I often browse using my phone in the evening.
Unless someone knows of an alternative way, I have a Google Pixel 5, the settings are already on Dark Mode which works for apps etc.
Cheers ,
Harrison
