@MrCathulhu I don't think that is an apt generalization. Niantic needed some form of communication system beyond just the "report a player" option (which does need work) since G+ is out.
I am grateful we're not in some Facebook Super Group.
Thanks all for your feedback about dark theme. We are looking at this.
@MrCathulhu G+ went away sooner than originally announced. We decided creating something sooner so Agents have a place to go would be better than waiting a few more weeks for another iteration on this Community.
@CriminalBizzy They'd only have to be Google accounts, which would forward to our registered e-mail, but then it's the Google account bit which costs....
I made a uBlock Origin filter list that will make things darker. It's extremely rough and not everything looks great, but it's better than a white background, and you can add/remove/edit entries to improve it

Yah plase!!
I can't stand light themes.
Its 2019 dark theme should be default
I second this.
I can a possibility for many different dark themes or even customization!
Some changes to the theme are planned but we focused on getting this Community released earlier than later.
We have time, this forum is just an hour old. Custom Avatar were added only a few minutes ago.
I tried to post a soon tm gif and I got a message saying I have to be around longer before I can posts links...🙄
I would love a dark theme for the community forums here! Niantic, what would we need to do in order for you to implement this?
Please keep in mind this is only the first iteration of the Ingress community. All your feedback is welcome.
Rushing to get things out then adding features later seems to be a reoccurring design failure with Niantic...
I even would appreciate a dark theme..!
My eyes appreciate a dark theme! :P

guarantee more people will use the forum if it is not burning our eye sockets out to be here.

@NianticScot Couldn't agree more - I think a lot of communities got "caught short" when they moved it forward 6 months.
@Korzhak they could always just pay for the enterprise version since G+ was sooooo great.
@CriminalBizzy Wouldn't that require giving us all <IGN>@ingress.com e-mail addresses? 😁
@Korzhak that would be kinda cool if we could all have ingress.com domain emails! 🤣

Yes please, dark theme would be nice
@NianticScot Glad to see you reviewing the requests.
Think we could get a spreadsheet like the bugs and work in progress like for Prime?
I would guess by the responses here you have escalated the request for a dark theme?
or I certainly hope so! #anytimenow
That's a good start. I'd say that it could be also good to have a vote for all users what feature would be seen as most desired.
Ie.
-dark theme,
-country xf categories,
-landing screen with links to other Ingress stuff,
-some specific features,
-etc.

Thought I would bump this. I know a few others have started this topic in the past as well.
I actually looked at the Vanilla forums to see if there was an easy way to switch themes and only found one plugin: https://open.vanillaforums.com/addon/bootstrapthemeswitchlayout-plugin
No idea if that would get us going, but I'd sure love it if this could become an option
