Continuing on from our previously announced site changes and merger with TDU World, we have more updates to TurboDuck.net to announce:
Layout Change
Overhaul of the default light theme
The Dark theme is currently unavailable while we work on compatibility issues with the latest site update, along with a new light / dark switcher toggle work in progress. Please stay tuned and wear your sunglasses while using the site if needed.
The forum home page now lists threads from all areas in a single Fluid list so that members can easily see all forum activity. A filter block appears to the side and allows you to select individual areas to filter threads/topics by.
The traditional forum table view is still available as an option if you prefer the previous layout.
