I just saw a quip in the CB again, and this white on red
"and the rats come out to play..."

Problem is that "Monk Quips off:" is checked in my Display Settings.

Furthermore I'm wondering if banalities should really be shown in alarm 🚨 style.

I suppose it's another regression of recent patches on messaging.

    I have Monk Quips on as they do make me smile. However I agree that they should not be white-on-red as that is really very intrusive, at least for those of us in Dark Mode.

    The style was set to "warning" since 2022. For the time being, I've removed that style from the monk quips.

    I don't know if something with the CSS was changed or if the quips appear for some other reason.

      Because it's weird:

      if (htmlcode('parseTimeInString', '', ('')x3, '%m-%d') eq '05-01' and not $VARS->{nosenseofhumor})

      nosenseofhumor comes from user settings for "No April Foolery"

      But today is the first of Mai not of April ==> '04-01'

      Update

      It's hard to suggest a fix without knowing the intention.

      But the date is most probably wrong, unless international workers day is supposed to be a joke in the US. (... hmm, wait 🤔)

      Looks like "No April Foolery" is a misnomer, too.

      I made that change. Prior to that, the style was hardcoded for red foreground text, since a change on 2009-05-01. I didn't like the idea of having hardcoded colors. The warning class was already in use in a different place in that code. But I agree, in retrospect, my change in 2022 was not the best...

    No, it's completely unrelated.
