Forced light mode text in dark mode

[JesseNight]

As a dark mode user, I have noticed a vast amount of posts still being forcefully posted as black text on white background. While I cannot imagine people doing this intentionally, I can only guess that the forum software supports rich text format when copying and pasting text from a different source. Meaning if people post to multiple sites and they use light mode themselves, it will force the pasted text format into black text on a white background.

I know this may be hoping for a bit much, but is it possible to somehow make the software ignore text format (or at least color and background color) on pasted content so things appear as intended for both light and dark mode users?

Hello @JesseNight - that is a known bug and occurs when HTML content is posted. In theory we have the option to disable HTML at whole and just let postings create via WYSIWYG editor elements. But we may not be there yet for everybody being happy about this.

As I am mostly using the dark mode fo rmy self (reason  for putting the efforts of mine in the 1st place :D) i also tried to find a working CSS selector to create an overwrite working just in the postings, but I did not find a solution of clearing the background color without affecting other elements which would have even worsen the general visuals of postings.

Since the vendor brought the next major version 5.x of the forum software, from staff side we agreed on letting that hand some more time to get stable and after the summer period us starting with efforts of testing the new major version and doing our adjustments, as the 5.x versions offer a darkmode without any hacks needed - my hopes are this may address the issue wie have in the current 4.x major version we are still in.

 

 

Not sure how experienced you are with CSS, but I am generally open for any selectors from users which may have found "the right selector to just address elements within the posts but no others". There are smarter people out there than me for sure! :D

Thanks for clarifying.

And my experience with CSS is somewhat limited I'm afraid. I mean I know what it's doing, just very little first hand experience working with it.
