    I'm finding in 'Light' mode/style the text when I preview a post is black like normal.

    But.......if I change to 'Dark' mode/style the text when I preview a post is a light yellow and unreadable. I notice this 'bug' in the public and private threads.

    Below is a screenshot of this post when I preview it before clicking the 'Start Thread' button.

    Thanks - I can confirm this as a bug and will add it to the list.

    For now, don't use that mode and do a preview.

    Thanks Alan,

    I just found that the text is yellow by default in the 'Change options' form as well.

    Same here. The text color choice for some types of text (like my own new text in "Preview" mode in the reply editor) assumes a dark background, but only the areas outside of the post rectangles are dark; the background for that text is white.

    I think we are letting Martin (43review) have some well earned rest. We will get round to this soon

    The simple fix is to choose a different colour. DPReview uses its trademark turquoise on both dark and light backgrounds and it shows up fine on both. It doesn't have to be blue, could be any highly saturated colour except yellow.

    Agreed. But it's Martin who chooses the colours (isn't it?)
