Are you referring to post #4 in this thread? https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...l#post35989241

That is not directly the fault of dark mode -- the poster has explicitly written that section of the post in dark grey text, whether wittingly or unwittingly -- I am guessing they copy and pasted goldwannabe's name from a context where it had the color associated with it in the web page code; when you paste such text it retains the color coding unless you right click => paste as plain text.



333333 is a dark grey, so everything inside that "color" tag appears in that color which is why it is hard to read in dark mode.

It's possible IB could do something to automatically treat all pasted text as "paste as plain text" which would help a lot (as I suspect many FTers may be unaware there is a dark mode and that there is an issue) but it wouldn't prevent a situation where someone explicitly chose black foreground text from the editor menu and typed in that color, for example.
