Well thanks to the admins! I just edited a post of mine and noticed that I could highlight the text in the edit box and SEE the highlighted text. I first thought the skin had involuntary turned to the classic one, but no, it’s still sultanstheme. It was a bit of an annoyance, but I work in IT and know how such bugs can be a bitch to work around. So congrats! ---

I didn’t like the original theme and just trusted my blindsight when highlighting text. When it actually showed color this time, I thought I did something wrong. 🙂 ---

Now works properly in Firefox as well. ---

> [@guizot](#): > > OK. Now remind me again why I should switch back to sultanstheme? Well, I think it looks better. And it shows the location and postcount of every user including guests in a post, which I find convenient. ---
