    It seems to me like the main text color in the forum was changed to cyan (screenshot below). I tried on 3 different browsers, and they all show it like this.
    I'm hoping this is just a bug in some stylesheet or something like that, and was hoping for an official answer shedding some light on this.

    Also I want to raise an ethics question that directly relates to this. Since presumably both the forum and the Unity Editor use plenty of analytics, I'd imagine UT is able to collect meaningful data on how gamedevs divide their time across those two things and I wonder if they ever came to the conclusion that making the forum less pleasant to use, boosts the time people actually work on their games and thus raises their efficiency more than any changes to the Unity Editor could... if they ever gathered data that supports this, do you think they would be obligated, to make the forum the worst it can be, to protect us from our time-wasting selves?

    Maybe they're not the heroes we feel we deserve, but the heroes we need?



    @zoran404 are you still maintaining that custom stylesheet? I was interested if you've noticed any changes while using the dark skin for the forum.

    No, because if we couldn't waste time here, we would easily be wasting time elsewhere (on facebook unity groups, slack, discord). And I would argue that "wasting" time here often results in gaining some extra knowledge from time to time.

    Also, yeah, the text color for the forums is blue-ish for me too (although slightly different than in your image).

    Sorry for the sudden splash of cyan text. Looks like we had a bit of HTML leaking into where it didn't belong.
