This forum's text entry boxes have invisible text

There was no better place to post this (like a "meta" section), so I stuck it in TBird:

This very forum's text entry boxes are USUSABLE for those of us with light-on-dark system color schemes. Somebody forgot to set the input/textarea text colors to black when they set the background colors to white, rendering the text boxes an impossible-to-use "white on white".

The solution is trivial: Fix the CSS to set the text color for input and textarea tags to black. Or better still, go through the CSS and fix all instances where the foreground or background color is set WITHOUGHT the other one also being set.

Curently, I'm forced to write this very message using a separate text editor, and then copy-paste it all into the text box.

I have pinged one of the administrators of the forum. Perhaps they can assist you. I know I can not.
