₦airaland Forum

It's 2025, and Nairaland, Africa's biggest online forum, is still stuck in the past without a dark mode. The rest of the internet has long embraced this feature, offering users a more comfortable and eye-friendly browsing experience.
Why the delay, Seun? Is it a technical challenge, a matter of priorities, or something else entirely? Nairaland users are tired of the eye strain and yearn for a modern refresh. When will Nairaland finally join the dark side?

Nairaland is like NTA,

Mynd44 kindly look into this please or move to front-page

Download the extension from play store.


Depending on your browser version it may not work.

Try viewing on desktop mode and if your browser supports extensions , search for dark mode.

My browser does not enable extensions.

I use a very unique browser .

However, if you are using a desktop and chrome or mozilla simply enable java script and you can change the background theme and text color to reflect your desired dark mode preference

<button onclick="toggleDarkMode()">Toggle Dark Mode</button>

<script>
function toggleDarkMode() {
document.body.classList.toggle("dark-mode";

// Save user preference in localStorage
if (document.body.classList.contains("dark-mode") {
localStorage.setItem("theme", "dark";
} else {
localStorage.setItem("theme", "light";
}
}

// Apply the saved theme when the page loads
window.onload = function() {
if (localStorage.getItem("theme" === "dark" {
document.body.classList.add("dark-mode";
}
};
</script>
