I like using custom CSS stylesheets (via Stylus Add-on) to enforce dark theme across the world wide web.
html, #newtab-window {background: #020202 !important}
* {color: #ddd !important; background-color: transparent !important;}
img {opacity: .7 !important; transition: opacity .2s}
img:hover, a:hover img {opacity: 1 !important; background-color: #bbb !important}
Surprisingly 90% of internet works quite well with this. But there are the occasional websites that force white background via !important.
Example is What is difference of using string as hardcoded value vs string constant[^] with this style entry:
.container-entry {background-color: #fff !important;}
Please reserve !important only for your developers or end-users, but never in production.
PS: Your the first website I decided to actually tell of such usage. Also I think dedicated "dark modes" is generally a waste. As those are still something you must explicitly look for and enable. Whereas end-user CSS customizations apply implicitly and globally.

I'm flattered we're the first!
We're currently redoing our CSS from the ground up so things like this will be corrected. We may also add a Dark mode (to be decided). For me it's not a waste if there are specific colours we wish to use in a dark mode to ensure branding and display look good. It also saves people having to worry about their own custom styles. Plus, it's a CSS thing now (sorta).

I was just checking because he has been reporting.
His rep history[^] is pretty weird.
I suppose he will be nuked, but wanted to let you know in case you want to dig

Since the drop is in the participant category, could it just be that he has opted-out a few newsletters.

There is no "opt-in" part in the graphic. He starts at "0" and goes up slowly. When you opt-in for all things you start with 300 points.

If I recall correctly, it hasn't always been so. The account is old so could it be possible that when the amount of items you can opt-in has grown over time, they have been automatically added to existing accounts without adding corresponding points? This would explain why opting-out results to negative points.
Of course this is merely speculation

That's exactly why I posted it here. To let the ones know, that actually can look the records

I went to "My Articles", and it says "no articles posted" (the same for Tips). The article/tip count appears to be accurate.

"My Articles" works for me.

It appears to be okay now.

I submitted a new article (Generic DAL Revisit - Making it Your Own, A Practical Example[^]), and it didn't bring over the one-line description or the "brief paragraph". Sean is editing it (fixing it, I suspect), but just thought you should know.

It was missing when I went in there as well. If you don't like the description or brief paragraph I chose, I'm happy to change it.
Thanks,

Nah - looks okay. It's weird, because the wizard won't let you submit unless those two fields are filled in.
Maybe they were social distancing.

Is there a way we can add styles for our articles? If not generally, than for the people that have a crapload of articles posted. Like me. Maybe make it possible to upload a supplemental style sheet?
I want to use this:
<style>
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
{
color: #f90;
margin-bottom:0px !important;
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
line-height:1.1em;
}
p
{
margin-top:5px;
}
.preText
{
background-color:#dfd;
border-color:green;
}
h1 code,h2 code,h3 code,h4 code,h5 code,h6 code
{
color:saddlebrown;
font-size:inherit;
}
</style>
Also, what happened to the checkbox that told the editors not to mess with my markup?
Seriously dudes, yer harshin' my buzz.

Short answer: no, you can't change styles so your articles appear differently to everyone else's. A fundamental goal for CodeProject is to keep as consistent a look and feel as possible across our articles.
For preText I'm guessing what you're after is something too allow the use of PRE without it being coloured like a CODE block. What we're going to do is move to the standard "<pre><code>" form so that non-code blocks will simply be preformatted, and pre-code blocks will be formatted and colourised.
The Hx code suggestions: I'll play around with that. As to the spacing and colours, they are being adjusted in a move to using Bootstrap as the base CSS. Spacing will actually increase. No, you can't come and personally threaten me because the borders are closed. Let's talk about it in the Fall.
As to that checkbox: it's like those temperature adjustment dials that have in offices. It didn't actually do anything and was there simply to give you the illusion of control. (actually it was only there for the old HTMLArea WYSIWYG editor. The new CKEditor is far better with HTML so we've not needed to undo any weirdnesses)
