Code tags in forum help produce white on black

Have a look: https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#smilies

On my browser, code tags in normal posts are rendered black on powder blue:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, suas lorem menandri pro at, quod quot tritani ne cum. Eu mei cetero molestiae dissentiet, eam suas case aliquando id. Cum id mazim audire quaeque. Sit no tation apeirian, an mazim minimum temporibus cum. Et libris reprimique referrentur ius, vis ea fastidii delectus senserit.

Global setting?  User setting?

Re: Code tags in forum help produce white on black

You can change your forum settings (under profile->display).  The "Air" theme uses white on black for code tags.

EDIT: As does "Earth".  I stopped testing after that - I'm sure some other's do.  But not "Cobalt" (what I currently use) nor "Archlinux" which is the default.

Re: Code tags in forum help produce white on black

Just played with these. Is it intended that the links on the top right (and the logo on the top left) are only displayed for the default theme? So if I change the colours, I lose the links there to wiki/bugs/aur etc.?

Yes. The default theme was made exclusively for this forum. All other themes are provided by upstream and are generic. As such, they don't have site-specific stuff.

That is the one minor annoyance of the custom themes.  But the "Arch Linux" link in the upper left (small link under the big forums link) still gets back the the home page which has all the links to AUR and such.
