Do you prefer light or dark themes when on a forum, or are you not bothered? I like light themes better as they're easy to my eyes. I only don't like dark ones because they hurt my eyes and with this laptop's reflective screen, I don't like seeing my reflection when viewing sites with black backgrounds.
 
I prefer light themes. Everything is a lot easier to read and navigate in my opinion.

Same here and for the same reasons.
 
We got both here. I use the light ones more (currently using Overlay), but I like to change it up once in a while. I think I'll switch to Revolt right now because I am talking about it. Lol

It depends really, light themes are good for a more professional appeal, while dark themes give off an, I just want to have fun feeling. It might just be me, but yeah that's how I perceive them. Don't get me wrong though, it can go both ways, but overall that's how it seems to me.

I don't care either way!

I don't get why some people hate dark themes..



I don't really care, what matters is the community and subject of the forum.
 
I prefer light themes. I don't mind themes that have a light/dark mixture in them, but I don't like when there isn't a happy medium to them. I've been on forums before where it's been a decent mixture, but there's too much of one shade but not the other. Like it'll be too dark but they won't have any lights in there at all, or vice versa...
 
I prfer lighter themes, They look more professional but it all depends on what the forum is about A gaming forum would have A darker theme But Webmaster forum would be lighter.
