Thanks!

Android 16 on mobile, running firefox, which has dark mode set in browser. OS is also set to dark theme. As I mentioned, the contrast of (non-highlighted) text against the background color in search results is way better today:

Things should hopefully look even better now...

The search feature in the G45 forum isn’t working today March 21. I typed in “Alpine White” and it says “No results found.”

I was re-wiring the search yesterday, you might have caught it while that was happening, now its about 1/2 filled in again so you might get results again, let me know if not

Also if you think the results are better or worse (or just generally good or bad) is always useful feedback, as I continue to massage the search

I don’t understand what the differences are between selecting “THREADS” and “POSTS” in the advanced search feature.

Today, 11:00PM on March 27, Eastern Standard Time, the G45 forum doesn’t work. I get “404 - Page Not Found.”

So I jumped to the beta version for G45, and I couldn’t submit a post. I tried, but I was unsuccessful. I was logged in. When I clicked “SUBMIT POST” I received an error message saying something like “AN ERROR OCURRED. CONTACT AN ADMINISTRATOR.” :-(

Lastly, just one comment about the new format of the beta version. I don’t like that the last page button isn’t shown when all the threads are listed. It is buried. I must click the page button and then click the last page. That is two clicks. Compared to the original software version where the last page is readily shown and only involves 1 click. It might seem like nitpicking, but for those of us who follow the forums religiously, all we care about is reading the last page and reading the most recent posts. Having extra clicks can get frustrating. Just my 2 cents.
