Why was that removed as a choice, anyway?

I apologise for the temporary inconvenience of the removal of the local, Tardis option to read the site on differently-coloured backgrounds. At this stage, we're trying to look at the article prototype as it is, and then make comments about the way we'd like it to be.

Very few customisations are as important to me and I think the entire Tardis administrative staff than making sure we can return this option to our community. We think the skin switcher allowed more people, of a wider range of visual acuities, to stay on the site for longer periods of time.

I have passed your specific comments upwards, but I would encourage anyone who enjoyed the skin-switching option to send a sentence or two to our Community Support team via a Special:Contact.
