Any idea what is going on? Usually when I go to a forum I see the user name in small black letter and underneath that the subject in blue as a link to get to the thread. Currently, the names are larger and in blue and the thread titles are black. I can still click on the titles but it is hard to read. It looksOK on my PC. ---

Yeah, using Sam’s Simple Theme on my iPhone and this site is completely unreadable now. [![](https://i.imgur.com/hgrjs78_d.webp?maxwidth=760&fidelity=grand) ](https://i.imgur.com/hgrjs78_d.webp?maxwidth=760&fidelity=grand) ---

I’m also seeing this weirdness in the Discourse app on my iPhone. ---

What is the easiest way to change themes? ---

Go to your profile (tap your icon at the top of the forum), then pick Preferences, then Interface. There should be a drop-down for theme there. ---

Straight Dope Light seems to correct things. Maybe I’ll try it until the Simple Theme duplication is corrected. It’s not the biggest problem, but it is a mild nuisance. ---

There is no interface under preferences. Nvm. Got info from the other thread. ---

> [@Eyebrows\_0f\_Doom](#): > > They fixed it. Sam’s Simple Theme is working again. For the record, they may have fixed the mobile version, but the computer version is still stuck with hard-to-read blue thread titles. I liked Sam’s Simple Theme, the others are all way too cluttered. Is it possible to find out if they are working to fix the computer version and get the old thread titles back? Please? ---

I’m not seeing blue thread titles and I use Sam’s Simple Theme. But I was switching back and forth to others while this was going on, so perhaps change your theme and then change it back? ---

Thank you for the suggestion, although it didn’t work for me. However, I did see where I could change the type size, which includes thread titles, thereby making the blue titles easier to read. This difference may be one of the prices I pay for using a non-standard browser (Opera).
