@sheli Every time I try with the code you gave, when I click on save it’s logging me out… So I guess it won’t work…

My experience over the last decade at Viki, if Viki makes changes on the profile do not try to correct it makes matters worse. Most of the time there will be other slight changes. That is why my page looks as old as it is.
Give it some days/weeks and then see, if there are still changes. Maybe just like HTLM codes used to work in PMs and now not, it might be the same for profiles.
Since we don’t get specific information, we will only be left wondering, getting annoyed aso …
@mariliam @jeslynl
Could we get notice if codes are no longer, or in future will not work anymore?
Will we only be able to put in pictures?
What will be possible, what not?
I guess most of the volunteers just don’t want to waste time trying and at the end it is ruined once more. Please give us some information!

Really? That’s odd. I did change a little thing on my profile last night and it worked, but it wasn’t related to the background, I’ll try it now.
… Got kicked out. 
It must be a bug, I don’t want to believe Viki is preventing us from changing the background on purpose.

Is there a fix to the color mode or are we stuck with dark/black mode?

@deval_chloe @sheli — thanks for letting us know about this! The team has fixed this issue, and you should now be able to save profile updates without being logged out.

Hi @lutra, thanks for tagging me in your post. We haven’t deployed any changes to profile pages. Codes should still work as long as they are formatted correctly. 
I might have missed something in this thread — if you are running into problems with codes in your profile page, you can let us know and we’ll have a look.

Viki have impossed the dar mode.There are lots of us who find it stressful and tired. Where is the problem in having both options to work? This link is to ask viki at least for the optional click or to keep the light mode.
Please, sign this petition and send it to allthe volunteers and viewers who have a viki account.

this is so funny everyone is complaining about dark mode and we’re sitting and whining about light mode…
Viki better get it’s head on straight!

Some people are probably going to disapprove of me saying this, but I actually approve of the change to dark mode only. The reason being is that modern displays are so bright that having a light background setup often means that your screen feels as if it’s burning your retinas out. This is not only true of PC screens but also phones and tablets these days.
Dark mode helps to reduce eye strain and is probably also helpful for those with eyesight problems as well, as it puts the website close to a high contrast type of setup.
I actually wish there was a dark mode for Viki discussions. Oh dear. I’ve said it. Now I’m in trouble 
(knowing my luck. This is when somebody replies and says there is one and I just haven’t figured out how to enable it) , it’s possible that dark mode may be causing issues with some older displays. I suppose
By all means put light mode back so that people have the choice but it makes sense for dark mode to remain the default

Hey there! I sent the petition to the help center a few weeks ago and they replied me this:
[SCREENSHOTS REDACTED]
They still don’t tell me anything else, so I guess they won’t bring back the light mode 
We can only try to send them more messages individually, but I guess is true that viki doesn’t care about its volunteers

Yeah, me too. And the inbox turning to light wasn’t an improvement for me either.
But indeed, choice would be the best option.
Nope. At least not for me. I have very poor eyesight, and everything is too small and blurry without glasses. But if I am under direct sunlight or a very very good strong lamp, then I can read even tiny things without a problem.
On the contrary, lack of light makes everything worse. For instance, when driving, in the evening my eyesight drops at about 60% of what it is during daytime - and my eye doctor confirmed this, he said this is the normal thing to happen.
Therefore, for me, the brighter the better. I have my computer screen on the brightest possible, otherwise I strain trying to see.
I understand that some people prefer dark, but why not have the choice, so that everyone can have what they need?

The organizing for teams as moderator (messages, adding new team members etc.) in black mode is a nightmare I hate it so much… why is still only the black mode available?

For me it’s the opposite. I may sound like a vampire here, but nowadays bright days are horrible to me.
So, I think it’s pretty clear that one person’s best option is another one’s worst and we should just be able to choose what works for us.

I certainly agree that people should have the choice of which mode they want to use @irmar
For me light mode wasn’t so bad on phone and tablets , but was too much on a computer screen due to how bright screens are these days.
