Just an FYI to the MODs and for folks who like to use colored fonts....

When a user has changed from the default site forum template and is using the “M6G - Dark” format, users who continually post in colors like blue and red fonts are nearly impossible to read in the dark template.

Is there any way to fix that, other than the users having to change font colors or changing back to default template??

Bump.....

Snipped another user’s prior posting only to show an example (disregard the messy scribbles, just wanted to show how the colored text appears to users in Dark Mode)

There's no way to fix that as that's simply the nature of dark mode. Since we give users the ability to control their font color, some colors will simply appear less visible on a dark background. We suggest switching to regular (non-dark) style, or contact the user(s) who are writing in colors that are difficult to view in dark mode.

I would agree that the blue in dark mode is nearly illegible unless the screen is at just the right angle to view. And unless the user knows of the issue, they are likely ignorant to it if they use light mode. I've learned to ignore their posts for the most part.
