New Forums Interface Unreadabale as a Colorblind Person

The now-forced “modern” interface is completely unreadable for me. It is completely unreadable due to my colorblindness. Please reenable the legacy interface.

Hay thats totally understandable.
The old one is buggy but you should still be able to enable it
Click on your profile icon → Preferences → Interface

There’s a new theme? Weird. I see no difference between the themes.

Well never mind my post. I just had the old theme in my storage… it jsut updated.

Yeah, the issue is the theme select option is now completely absent for me. They changed something.

Hello all,
We launched some new small changes this morning, and shuffled around the available themes, which momentarily made the Legacy Theme unavailable. Apologies for that.

It should be back now, please let us know if you don’t see it on the settings page mentioned above by @DrMaxy4142

If you’re having trouble even getting to that settings page, try going directly to:
https://forums.ageofempires.com/u/your_username/preferences/interface
(and naturally, replace “your_username” with your username!)

I numbered each line above and grabbed this screenshot to show what I mean:

PS: With this issue, you also cannot edit the top part of a long post. It forever stays off-screen at the top. If you scroll up to place the cursor where you want to edit, you can’t make the keyboard appear. So you can’t actually edit. To make the keyboard appear, you have to click somewhere else, which, effectively, changes the spot you were trying to edit.
