Dark Mode vs Light Mode: Which Do Forum Users Prefer?

[Serene]

Dark mode is becoming expected, especially for communities that read long posts daily. It reduces eye strain and can enhance focus. But some users still prefer light interfaces. Have you offered theme switching on your forum? Did it improve session time or retention?

[Maria]

Preferences vary. Many users like dark mode for reduced eye strain and comfortable night browsing, while others prefer light mode for clarity and familiarity. The best approach is offering both options and letting members choose what feels right for them.

You cannot choose for the users, that is why you should make it a choice for the users so that they can choose anyone that they prefer out of the two.
