Dark Mode and Text Color
 
I use dark mode and 99% of the time use the automatic font color. However I recently had this exchange on the Avis forum:

I'm not sure if it's user error (I don't double check every single time) or if something is wrong with the software.

It seems you've edited the post, so I don't know how it looked originally, but when you edited it, did you happen to click on the Source button and if so did you see COLOR tags?

When writing the original post did you copy and paste anything?

Asking the above because a lot of "report data points" threads that have a wiki with a standard template for people to copy/paste, end up being pasted with black color tags (or sometimes white) and thus don't play well with dark (or light) mode as a result, unless the poster pastes via right click => paste as plain text (or ctrl-shift-V, or its equivalent on other operating systems)

Zorak is correct. Simple copy/pasting the text will copy whatever formatting has been applied, even if it doesn't seem like there is any.

I mean, I think that explanation is the likely one, but there might also be some novel explanation that hasn't occurred yet, hence my asking to confirm :)

FWIW I generally copy my own posts on this thread, but paste as plain text (on my computer, ctrl+shift+V). Is this not the right way to remove any formatting?

That ought to have worked -- but either way, did you also see the question about COLOR tags? If you can't recall, you can click on that post on the link where it says "Last edited by" (this link only appears to the OP of a post and the mods in that forum) and it will show a dialog where you can compare the before/after of edits.
