E-CigaretteForum Dark theme troubles

[somdcomputerguy]

I like the E-CigaretteForum Dark theme. The forums in general, threads, and individual posts display just fine; white text on a dark background. However, when I'm making a post, or replying to one, the background of the entry field is black, and the text is gray. Is there a solution to this? I haven't browsed thru the XenForo forums yet to see if this is a big issue or there is a work around. The only work around that I've found is to change themes when making a post or replying. I'll put some screenshots below; the first is the Dark theme, the second is another theme.

i am seeing white type on dark grey in dark mode, there must be a setting on the tabs to change it

Is this on posts, or posts you're replying to or creating? As far as the 'settings on the tabs', I have no idea what you're talking about.

eta: I've added a screenshot of how this thread displays.

Both, maybe a setting in your browser

Perhaps. I have a dark theme set for my browser (just the browser GUI, it doesn't affect any pages or sites), and I set it back to the default theme, but it made no difference to the dark theme on this site. I'll see if any other settings on my browser make this happen to me.

Damnit! I restarted my browser in 'safe mode' which disables all the plug-ins installed. Guess what? The E-CigaretteForum Dark theme worked correctly. After re-starting my browser, I disabled all my plug-ins one by one and I found the culprit. One of my plug-ins, Advanced Night Mode, was causing this issue. I had the plug-in set to be disabled for this site, but it turns out the plug-in in general needs to be disabled. So I'll add another screenshot that may help other users of the Pale Moon browser and that plug-in. I'll probably contact the plug-ins author about this issue.

The 'Enabled' checkbox on top needs to unticked, merely selecting the 'Disabled' radio box for individual sites was making the display not display correctly.

Thanks for the 'prodding' @borno.
