We’d love to do a full update on the forum themes. No ETA on this yet, but it’s definitely on our radar.
A link out to the main website is an interesting idea! Do you often go between Hub/Forum/Roblox.com in one session?

Glad to hear that.
Yep! I don’t go between all three every session, but I do go between them quite often (in many sessions). And I’m sure that many other developers do as well, some probably more than me. So, I would greatly appreciate it.
This is so stupid because on roblox.com im logged on my main account
On this devforum im on my alt account
Now here is the following that happens for me:
This is pretty stupid lolll 2 accounts shown on the same website (devforum.roblox.com)
This is consistent with the behavior before the change (you would have been logged in on different accounts on devforum vs. Creator Hub). It’s just more visible now so understandably it’s a bit more confusing in short-term.
We’re going to make changes over time to pull these two closer together. This is just the first change in a sequence.
Thats a good question
Is roblox trying to kill devforum and try to revive old roblox forums?? (omgggg OG roblox is back?!?!?)
There’s an issue where dark mode is forced on the DevForum now, despite light mode selected in settings. This only affects the DevForum, not other Creator Hub pages. Please fix!
If I may make a suggestion, I think it’d be good to integrate the forum stuff with the main top bar a bit more closely, like how Framework does on their website. Look on the right hand side:
I like it, but on mobile i use the dev froum “app” and used to tap the big Devforum tex at the top to get back to the main page, the etra sets kinda a pain I know its new and minor but
Edit: seems like I can still do that, just when i first was trying it kept doing the drop down menu
Have you set your theme preference within the forum settings? While we did just connect the two conceptually, the Hub and Forum are still two separate products. The forum themes are managed through the service we host the forums on.
The square dropdown menu next to your avatar has the forum-specific theme options:
Yes, I’ve selected light mode but the website is still displaying dark mode.
Yes, this is the long-term intent but we have additional constraints to design around at this time that other sites do not have (e.g. unrelated login sessions across two pieces of software).
We’ll get there in the future through iteration. We want to get to a place where there is one session, shared notification systems, etc.
This is an overall nice change, the only problem I find besides the few problems already mentioned is that there’s no compatibility for extensions that change DevForum’s style to give it a nicer look.
With Extensions:
I have to disable extensions for now which is kind of frustrating for both sides.
Just confirming you’ve set light theme both on Creator Hub settings and on your Forum settings? There are two spots you’ll have to update, one being Forum-specific over here: https://devforum.roblox.com/u/KardashianKlan/preferences/interface
I’ve been waiting for this change to happen for months! I’m glad its finally here!
On mobile the text says fo… It look pretty bad, if the roblox studio icon is added back it would be better.
Screenshot:
it looks ugly as hell
especially on light mode (use completely black text! not light gray!)
Bad Idea to migrate devforum to Create, all the old links will break
