Simply scroll down to quick switch to dark mode, set your prefered settings in profile settings after siging in or let it autodetect whatever settings you have in your system.
That you for your reply, but I'm still pretty lost.
Where - may I ask - is "quick switch"?
I assume that "profile settings" are not "preferences"?
To be perfectly honest, I am completely lost, but - well, de rien - I can live without dark mode. Anyway, thank you.
Scroll to the very bottom of the page, all the way to the bottom. On the right-hand side are two buttons. One of them is the language/region button for that and 12/24 clock. The button to the left of that one is the style chooser. It may say something on it signifying which style is currently set. Click/tap that button to make a selection, such as a dark mode for changing the theme of the entire site to darker colors making it easier on the eyes when reading in low-light conditions.
Bravo, and thank you so very much.
Much appreciated.
Very clear instructions, and easily followed.
I shall experiment this evening having successfully switched to Dark Mode - for all of ten seconds.

It seems I have to hi light any text to be able to read it. Any fix for this yet? Thanks. In Light mode the text is barely visible.

To all the MacRumors team, thank you very much. Especially to those who made this change happen. I thanked Arn for creating MacRumors years ago, and now I wanted to thank to all the people involved who made this possible.
I spend more time that I ideally should on this place, even being a non-english speaker, and when I first signed up on the site, back in 2012 (damn, that's long), I barely felt comfortable typing in English. My ability speaking in English wasn't enough, and I only posted 4 or 5 times during the first years being here.
But thanks to you, to Reddit, to my passion for tech and reading MacRumors and other tech sites daily, helped me to feel comfortable enough writing in English. And the Mac auto-correct helps a lot (lol). And I started writing more and more and becoming a fellow peer on the site, especially on the forum. Being able to have my own avatar being below the 500 messages helped me to be more involved on the community as well.
This is just a short thank-you message, and if I find something I don't like, I will report it... here? If there's a site feedback thread just let me know.
I see the reactions are now FaceBook style. Nice touch. And now emoji are a thing. I wonder if there's a shortcut in macOS to show the emoji list. I'll grab them from the Smilies button: ???

On a Mac you can use the keyboard shortcut cmmd-control-spacebar and it will bring up the emoji keyboard. ?
Please move that "REPORT" button. It's very irritating where it is. Just change it to a warning triangle or something and stick it after "REPLY". Or, better, as just a "!" icon or something top right next to the "bookmark" one.

Oh yeah! I KNEW there had to be something like that on macOS, given the big emphasis Apple make on Emojis xD

I agree. Also there's no risk at false, accidental reports because it asks for a reason and a confirmation button.
I see the Edit button is also at the left. Maybe putting all the buttons to the right makes it look a but clunky. Dunno.
By the way, here it comes what I think is a bug: When somebody reacts to my message, the bell don't show a red dot with a 1. However when you unfold the notification pane, it appears right there, the notification.
This doesn't happen with other notifications. But I'm not sure.
EDIT: now it works. Apparently.
Just keep an eye into the notifications red dot behaviour.
While I like dark mode, the MR Light brings me back to the colors and scheme that I like. Nicely done and like all new roll outs, I am sure there will be a bug here and there.

? "Bring back the thumbs down! We want the thumbs down!"?
?

So far I'm liking the new look and I'm still exploring features. ?
One comment on something that needs addressing is the scroll up and down arrows that appear in the bottom right when scrolling through the thread. When you click on the down arrow it takes you to the bottom of the footer (which is huge). You might want to adjust the behaviour of that button to go to the bottom of the page but stop just before the footer class.

Post merge isn't working for me. Just made two successive posts in this thread and they weren't merged.
