Hey guys, Using the "forum default" skin on the options page and "dark" on the appearance settings, and I'm getting a flash of unstyled content on a lot of page loads. It appears as if it may not be totally unstyled, just the dark style is missing. Not exactly an issue for me but thought you'd like to know.

I've reported it so the local mods will move it.

First off, as you say, it's not a true FOUC What happens is the dark theme styling is loaded only after the default blue/white theme, it is not loaded instead of that theme. If you're on a slow connection or browser, or your current browser settings prevent the storage of material (e.g. disabled cache or disabled local/session storage) then this flash will be fairly regular, otherwise it should only occur the very odd time. Firefox appears to be the worst for this behaviour.

There were plans to change the way we load themes and styles but we don't know when that'll be implemented.

And a few months later, the themes system has been vastly improved and the FOUC should be gone.
