Mini-announcement here. Normally an update like this would wait until a monthly or mid-monthly announcement, but since in order to preemptively address the "what happened to the cbox?" that likely every member will be asking, a bit of an explanation.
Quite a few people especially recently have been asking for another skin/theme option, so now we have a dark one. You can change yours by going to Profile -> Edit Profile -> Settings. Do note skins are saved for each account, so if you prefer the dark one you'll have to switch all your characters. Small issues remaining with the theme can be addressed as needed, and please feel free to call SG's attention to anything you notice. (Ex: Gifting items has a white background, and the subject input text is still black. These will be looked into soon and probably would have been done already but a lot of time was taken by the following bit.)
So in order to have both themes look nice, I had to edit the cbox. This was originally supposed to be just some transparency and then the scrollbar to be a bit less jarring; but then, probably at least 5 minutes after saving everything and using the minor update with no problem, I went to add a note under the November Announcement sticky that "(The cbox changed because we have a new theme!)" This is on a separate page than the style coding and involves no advanced coding itself, only basic bbcode.
...For no discernible reason whatsoever, cbox decided to eat the entirety of the box's CSS. Avatars their original size instead of shrunk to 50x50, no format to the post text, internet-default Times New Roman font with blue/purple underlined hyperlinks. Literally all style coding was lost, and trying non-custom cbox themes didn't seem to fix it.
So I had to recreate the entire thing from scratch, which took a sizable chunk of time, and is also why some of the colors and some minor things like font sizes changed a bit. If you have trouble reading anything or anything is displaying oddly, please let me know. (The larger message input, on the other hand, was a 'well, while I'm doing so much anyway...' thing, both to make it easier to see what you're typing in longer messages and to get rid of that micro 'scrollbar' that was an issue for a while.)
So there's the full explanation.
TL;DR - We have a new dark theme now, and SG hopes you'll all like the cbox, but if you run into any issues with either please just let her know; stuff can definitely be altered if/as needed.
