This is in the preferences. You can see in the preview window that there is a blockquote in place.

Markdown engine problem huh? They will change the engine soon or later, soon i think, so all the bugs related to that will be seen after that.. you will have to wait until then.

Cheers pal!

See

> [@Blockquotes on Profile Page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/blockquotes-on-profile-page/39150):
>
> Blockquotes can be unreadable on the Profile About Me area. Dark Theme (missing left border, but readable) Light Theme (unreadable) PR Submitted: [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/3998](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/3998) With PR Dark Theme (border is visible again) With PR Light Theme (it is readable)

But that was merged, so… not sure what version you are on, but that may be part of the problem.

Oh, I see, you have to refresh the page, otherwise the markdown doesn’t get re-rendered. The change seems to still be in effect though.
