Thirding this, and adding that it's also appearing inconsistently in posts that don't appear to be changing that particular text color, i.e. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/fd3/3262162/127#post_60619550]this post in Wind Dominance forums[/url].
While some of the text color is changed, what I'm actually seeing is that some of the text is reading the override and turning pale and readable, and some of the text (I think the text in columns) is just staying a flat, unreadable black.
I am pretty sure it wasn't like this on Sunday, but I don't remember when I last looked at this particular post, so it feels like something broke in that span of time but I can't narrow it down further.
Firefox (latest), Desktop Mode, Slate, Experimental mode.
Edit: I'm pretty sure it's the columns breaking the override code or something! I just went to my own clan profile and the text in columns there is also black when it wasn't before.

@Sovngarde try clearing your cache? I was literally having the same issue a few minutes ago but now it's fine? I guess they just pushed a fix

@saturnpunk i did mention i tried clearing my cache and checking in two different browsers! the lair tabs are fixed but signatures are still wonky; if you arent seeing the problem with signatures though it may be a problem on my end, but im not sure what else i can try as a fix :thinking:

@sovngarde Yeah, that's odd. To be fair, it's not completely fixed for me on my side either. The last badge in my sig has now gone from halfway cut off to only a little bit cut off when I'm pretty sure it didn't have issues before. Your sig appears just fine to me, so I have no idea what's up there. I did notice that there was a noticable difference between the amount of image cutoff in the space of time between my most recent bug report and when I responded to you, so maybe it happened in the about 15 minutes between your post and when I pinged you?
Though if you mean the signature is also shifted down a little, that I think I can see. It's hard for me to tell since my signature doesn't usually hit the bottom of the signature box, but there does look like there's a row that wasn't there before. If I had to guess what your issue is with things being cut off, it's a mix of that and columns rendering fully/adding extra space between columns? You can really see the extra spacing with signatures that have two images that are supposed to connect seamlessly but are separate images
EDIT: Switching to my computer, my entire signature is now visible but others are getting cut off. Device/browser specific issue maybe?

firefox on windows 11, the pop up for how many items you're missing in swipp's stand covers up the name of the item entirely, this seems to be happening only in the listing to the left of sinclair's selection as the other listings display it above the item's name

I dont see this on the active issues... on the Auction page, dark mode text is completely illegible for gene selection.
Baldwin's "Category" dropdown and "Filter" textbox had swapped places and the textbox is now pretty short. Is this intentional? I kinda liked a textbox that sprawled across from the left to the dropdown on the right and gave the impression that I can type half of "War and Peace" into it and still not fill it up.
I know I'm unlikely to ever type the full of "Ancient Gene Parchment: Nudibranch" into it. But it's still a tad claustrophobic that this text doesn't fit, and annoying, given all the empty space to the left of it. Plus, with no shadows in the textbox there isn't a "the beginning of the line is behind the left wall" feel - the feel is "the beginning of the line has been cut off, aaargh!".
@CrystalFaerie
...Because it's not universal. My text in this case is bold white.
On the other hand, a few months ago I've seen somebody else's Colour/Colour Range drop-down have [i]the actual colour[/i] visible as a background to the colour name - meaning my setup is definitely not showing everything [i]quite[/i] the same way as others' machines do do. So I fully believe font and background colours might be happening very differently for different users!.. I just have no idea how to debug these things [emoji=aberration sad size=1].

[size=6]Status Update[/size]
We are still working through the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/bug/3473228/1]Official Layout & Dark Mode Bugs Thread[/url].
A few major issues were resolved just this morning, including:
[LIST]
[*] Flickering caused by tooltips
[*] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/bug/3473823]BBCode rendering incorrectly site-wide[/url]
[/LIST]
At the time of writing, the thread is nearly 950 posts long. Unfortunately, a majority of those posts fall into one of the following categories:
[LIST]
[*] Suggestions
[*] General feedback
[*] Issues caused by not clearing browser cache
[*] Or reporting a bug that has already been posted
[/LIST]
So, as we begin a new week, we'd like to remind everyone that you should [b]only[/b] post a report if it has not already been mentioned or you have [b]specific additional details[/b] to provide.
Reporting that you also see a bug someone else has reported is not necessary at this time.
Check the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/bug/3473228#post_3473228]first post[/url] in the thread for the list of known issues and make use of the search function if you don't see your bug on the list. There is a good chance that others have reported your issue and we just have not gotten to it yet.
[b]Make sure to try the troubleshooting steps also mentioned in that post.[/b]
If you have suggestions, that's great! Please post those in the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/sug]Suggestions Forum[/url].
If you have general feedback, please use the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/3473716]General UI Feedback[/url] thread.

[size=6]Non-bug Update[/size]
While this thread is focused on bugs, the team has recently launched a few aesthetic fixes ranging from urgent accessibility issues to items that just generally could look better and would be quick to fix.
[b]These include:[/b]
[LIST]
[*] Style changes to the forum
[list][*]Fixing the background color of the author sidebar (caused by a typo)
[*]Un-bolding usernames in the board list[/list]
[*] Style changes to Fiona's Fantastic Familiars
[list][*]Replacing old PNG heart artwork with a themeable SVG[/list]
[*] Style changes to the Alerts menu
[list][*]Color improvements
[*]Spacing improvements[/list]
[*] Style changes to the Hoard and Vault
[list][*]Left aligning items[/list]
[*] Style changes to dragon tooltips
[list][*]First gen indicator colors
[*]Spacing improvements[/list]
[*] And quite a few minor changes site-wide
[/LIST]
We are aware that there are many more issues like these and we are in the process of compiling, documenting, discussing, planning, and reviewing next steps.
Please continue to let us know about these sorts of issues in their appropriate venues:

not sure if this is intentional or not: the game database numbers on the tabs are grey, which is not consistent with things like trading post etc
I can see it being intentional, as it is not a "notification" but neutral information, but it does look kinda weird.
Speaking of, I think the daily pursuit ones definitely should be orange, since it's notifying you that you've done something and should claim them, as not claiming = no rewards, and missing that is not ideal...
I assume it's a bug since the beige notifications in the trading post were made orange again
(don't think it's necessary, but I'm on windows 10, firefox version 150.0, using the light theme)
