Help
Is this something I can affect, or is it down to the individual reader's settings? Also, I'm sad because someone neg-repped me because of this
Please help, O wise and gracious ones!

According to a screen shot in the 'Views in a nutshell' thread in the Discussions forum, my posts are coming out in a very odd grey fontface, pretty unreadable against the black background of the Malazan Empire styleset. However, when I switch to that styleset, my text is white, as is everyone else's, and I can't really see what the problem is. I normally read the forums in the Grey styleset, and I've never had any problems reading mine or anyone else's posts.

It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.

I don't see anything weird with your post(s) in any of the forum skins...?

I don't either. Gave you back a point of rep - incidentally that was a pretty pissy thing to do - to neg rep you for that.
Post a screenshot and let me know what settings you are using and I'll take a look.

by all signs it looked like one of those people who post in a different font color, in their heads thinking that makes them individualists and original, but in truth just marks extreme douchebaggery and should be culled...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

The same thing may have happened with Peanutbutta in this thread

I noticed the same when modding from H&M and Path-shaper.
H&M used the Venom skin, which has white text on black background, P-S used one of the white skins.
When copy/pasting from H&M into posts made by P-S, the text colour was white, and amidst the coding in the text I came across this <colour=FAFFED (or something very much like it)] text [/colour>.
The same happened after day 3 or 4 or so with PBs posts, which I had to go through from top to bottom to remove the above coding to make them readable.
Simply selecting everything and giving it all a new color (for example red) did not help - somehow, that was suppressed, even when the number of <color=wfehgjhgj] and [/color> matched.

Was the new colour inside or outside the old colour tags?
