Why would Discourse not care? Glitch is a paying customer to them.

it is lost data, discourse does not back up any data immediately before a forum gets upgraded, but it does after, so, it is pretty much stating *** anything that occurs during the update, canāt be reverted, unless you downgrade*** more specifically

Well you can always backup the data beforehand. Since you can download the data to your PC. via the admin panel i believe

Guys, guys! @charliea21, if youāre right about Discourse itself hosting Glitchās forum, then updating should be easy and I donāt think any data is lost, @J-Tech-Foundation:

Weird, because upgrading is as easy as pressing a button and all your data is saved. Might be worth asking on the Discourse Support Forum!

You guys bought Discourse? @charliea21, even when you tried to see how user groups work earlier (in the User Announcements Category post) you paid?

I hosted it myself.
I installed Windows Subsystem for Linux on my Win10 machine since Discourse wonāt work on a Raspberry Pi then followed their Ubuntu install guide. Discourse made a guide to installing it on Windows 10.
You can view that guide here.

For the sake of not wiping everything out, Glitch needs to have an staging Discourse instance first by creating and getting the latest production build and test whatever an new feature/plugin makes the entire Support forum ruined. In case the whole forum was ruined, reject that. Otherwise, backup the entire instance before site-wide lockdown and follow upgrade manual.

Thereās something else as well: the themes Discourse is offering are meant for default themes. What I mean is that, Discourse can have only one theme (the default one, which could be a dark theme) but youāre not allowed to switch between themes, as in Dark Mode and Light Mode. Maybe that is the reason why Glitch is not changing this forumās theme???

You only need to set a default theme. You can make the dark theme an optional feature to enable in the users settings.

I can confirm what @charliea21 is saying. On a different Discourse instance there is an option to enable dark theme or light theme.
