Quote - I'm using the default and can see all text (black)

"I'm trying to track down what triggers this "

I would imagine it's the new text formatting feature causing this for you.

I hope someone can because it's driving me nuts. I'm using a black background also and many messages, I can't even see unless I highlight the text.

I used the default also...black text on a white background...but I can also read it as this message comes across as white letters on a black background in my browser so there is something else that's causing the problem.
