Re^5: Responding to the ORIGINAL question in a thread

It has been while since I have tried using default colors while logged in ... yup, "No theme" theme is indeed busted in that the "Comment" link is inivisible. Under "No theme" theme, color of the "Comment" link should not be set like other links.

There is no problem while using own colors (Opera's "User mode", black-red-green-on-white). Else everything appears as black-on-white (including the links, except the "Comment" link) under "Author mode", that is colors are used as specified by the page.

Source in Opera with "No theme" (note the "font" tag specifying the color white) ...

<table width='100%' bgcolor='' cellpadding='1' cellspacing='1' border=
+'0' id='replies_table'><tr><th colspan='2'>
<a href="?parent=709248;node_id=3333"><font color='white'><u>Comment o
+n</u></font></a> <font color='white'>Re^5: Responding to the ORIGINAL
+ question in a thread</font>
<br /><a href="?node_id=48824;sendto=parv;replytotext=Re%20%5Bid%3A%2F
+%2F709248%5D"><font color="white"><u>Send private /msg</u></font></a>
+ <font color="white">to parv</font></th></tr>
</table>

(Now, I will reset my colors to white-yellow-green-on-dark-grey to go with "Dark Theme".)

The font tag shouldn't be used at all by a page that has any awareness of CSS. Same goes for bgcolor on the <table> tag. Strictly, a few other things shouldn't be there either (e.g. cellpadding, border, <u> tags...), but they are less likely to mess things up. sas	[reply]

I absolutely agree. The removal/conversion is only partly complete at this time. Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.	[reply]
