That could be true. However, the green doesn't contrast enough with the white to reduce the overall glare. For me, at least.
We do have dark mode if that would help you. I know it says that it's still being sorted, but it works for most places on site now.
Click your mini avatar on the right, settings, and it's at the bottom.
Just to let everyone know. We are aware that there are a few minor bugs and they are being looked into as quickly as possible.

Some of the bigger changes are to the submission pages. The Save button allows you to save your draft as you go and there is a preview screen before you hit submit.
We would like to encourage everyone to use cover images, one-liners, and tags for each story.
You also have the option to recall your submission if it is not yet assigned to a mod. I cannot be the only person to find an error the moment I submit my story. This way you will be able to remove it, fix the issue, and resubmit without having to wait on a mod for help.
Once more information comes in, I'll update it here.

I do note that images for categories and curated collections on the home page are still broken, at least on desktop, as I have noted before. They seem fine on mobile. I use Edge and Chrome on Windows for desktop, Chrome on Android for mobile. I will try dumping cache later in case there's old data that's causing a problem.
I'm on the desktop version and it is working fine for me. Did you do a ticket?
Hi everyone. I was hoping to have been able to get on and make an announcement before it happened, but my morning has been madness. Nothing bad, just nonstop.
We have a few changes coming over the next little bit that I'm very excited about. The color change was one of them, along with the update on the front page.

Have there been any updates recently (like the past week or so)? I am having problems with the "Remember Me" switch on login not working again (I will try dumping cache since that sometimes fixes this) and the images for the Top Categories on the home page are broken. Just wondering if something borked something. And if it is just me or if these are happening to others.
There have been a few things running in the background. Mine did it too a few times, but it seems to be doing just fine now.
Larry's obituary was shared with me and I thought those of you that knew him might want to read it.

Hello. If you go to the home page (click StoriesSpace in the upper left corner) and scroll down past the new stories there will be a tab on the right underneath them that says More Stories.
Click More Stories. That will open up a new page with Search, Write Your Own Stories, and Genres.
Use the Search tab to find the keyword you're searching for and all the stories tagged with that word will pop up for you.
Hope this helps!

Quote by Ceebees
Hi.. it says what we first think of is New Orleans Maris Gras but does the story have to be about New Orleans? Or can it be set somewhere else? Can it be about the beginning of Lent for example? Or is it parades and costumes you want? Thanks.
Hello. The story has to be about Mardi Gras. You don't necessarily have to be in New Orleans, just as long as it's during Mardi Gras.
