Crap dark mode
Last time I visited here it was a white background, now its black which is too contrasty for my eyes. Is there a way to change it back?

Agreed!
Did you know that pure black text can cause eye strain? A survey found that “58 percent of adults in the U.S.” have experienced eye strain from working on computers. Designers can do their part to reduce the likelihood of eye strain on their designs by paying attention to the color of black they use.
Pure Black Text on White Backgrounds
Pure black text on white backgrounds can cause eye strain when users read the text over an extended period. White has 100% color brightness, and black has 0% color brightness. Such a disparity in color brightness creates intense light levels that overstimulate the eyes when reading text. This causes their eyes to work harder to adapt to the brightness.
A research study has found that “black text on a white background overstimulates the OFF ganglion cells while white text on black background overstimulates the ON ganglion cells.” The study concludes that “the striking effects of contrast polarity suggest that it may not be advisable to read black text on white background.”

PLEASE give users a choice between black on white or white on black. My browser has an invert function which I now have to use if I spend any time here trying to read info or posts. While invert is great for text, it also affects color photos and so is not the optimal solution.
