This discourse is configured with three themes: Default, Dark, and Ubuntu.
All three are missing the style sheet elements for coloured preformatted text.
For example, this:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "Starting backup..."
tar -czf backup.tar.gz /home/user/documents
echo "Backup complete!"
```
Should look like this:
But actually renders like this:
These boxes use the css element code.lang-bash
(in this example), but there are plenty more such as code.lang-yaml
and code.lang-toml
and so on.
On this site everything renders the text as colour #222222
on #F9F9F9
- grey on grey.

It seems the default discourse theme uses hljs to colourise the text…
Other discourse sites I have checked which use hljs to colourise the text correctly include:
- https://meta.discourse.org/
- https://anchorecommunity.discourse.group/
- https://forums.docker.com/
- https://ubuntu-mate.community/
- https://retrocomputingforum.com/
- https://discourse.writefreesoftware.org/
- https://forum.sailfishos.org/
- https://forum.syncthing.net/
etc. You get the idea. We’re the outlier here.
The only site I have found which has the same drab colourless design is…
(sad trombone)
Please can whoever implemented the new design, add back in the colourised pre-formatted text styles.
Thanks.
