In dark mode am having an issue with quotes and posted links to public topics.

I have tried to search for which color setting will let me fix this. However seem to be having difficulty defining a search term to find info.

Quotes and links in public categories seem to be okay.

Running Stable.

Sorry, what are you reporting? That looks normal to me. Individual personal message posts are now colored in “your” color if you are the author of the specific post in the PM. Like so:

I wrote the first post ←
someone replies
someone replies
I reply ←
someone replies
I reply ←

etc.

If you look at the pic. In this case the linked topic preview has grey on drk grey background. Making the text unreadable. The same issue in quoted text in pm

Where you can read the quoted text

I see, I have updated the title of your topic to make it more understandable. Not sure if this is theme-specific or not.

Okay thank you. My apologies. This also affects linked posts.

Looks like a bug on your theme.

That is in the default dark theme. Where do I adjust those values?

First right click and inspect the affected text and check where the background and text color are coming from.
