• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I wonder if it is possible to (cover a sensor or something) to have the Night time screen - come on during the daylight. This screen is so much nicer to read, during the day as well as the night.
Any thoughts? Any solutions ?
 
For what it's worth Many, this question seems to come up here every couple of years or so. When it does, a few people get all excited and try a bunch of different methods to try to get it work, none of which produce the desired result in a useful way for a variety of reasons (too much screen needs to be covered is one thing that comes to mind); and as they all start arriving at the same juncture, it once again drops off the discussion pages for another year or two.... :rolleyes:

So there's a bunch of previous discussion on this at a number of different times; all still there if you want to look for & can find any of it; the various reasons for 'failure' or at least, for the arrival at 'not a useful result' are all in there too; and one of the advantages of a Forum like this is that you can pretty much always go back and look for things like that! :ohyea: But if you want to save the effort & time, the 'brief summary/nett result' every time I've seen this question raised since about 2012 has always been 'it can't be readily done in a usable way!' :thumbup:

Still, I'll leave that 'search or not' choice up to you. :cheers:

:agree: and let me add I did get mine to show the " night mode screen " in daylight ...... however it wasn't readable, I was surprised, but that's what happened ..... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:
