Very recently (I think today) the buttons with "Post your answer", "Answer your question" and some others became black, with the text hardly readable.

enter image description here

With me it happens on Windows 10 with latest builds of both Chrome and Waterfox.

Not a bug strictly speaking, but...

    $\begingroup$ Appears for me on main (but apparently not meta) on a Mac running OS X 10.10.5 in latest version on Chrome. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @DavidRoberts Confirmed - on meta text is white on dark gray background, quite clearly visible $\endgroup$ May 6, 2016 at 9:52

    $\begingroup$ I'm pretty sure this would count as a bug (I also don't see the text on those buttons on the main site; Chrome 49.something on Windows 10.) The design tag should probably be added to this question. (I would do it myself, but my paltry reputation does not allow me.) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Here on Meta, I see the "Add Comment" in white, but when I mouse over it, the text disappears... $\endgroup$ May 6, 2016 at 15:20

    $\begingroup$ On the main site, the black becomes blacker on mouseover, too. $\endgroup$ May 6, 2016 at 15:40

    $\begingroup$ I see this problem, too, with Firefox 45, Windows 7. And also Gerald Edgar's observation. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Firefox 45 on Debian Stretch, same problem. I think we can safely say it is independent of both browser and operating system. $\endgroup$ May 7, 2016 at 2:33

    $\begingroup$ No one mentioned Internet Explorer on Windows. Is it not used any more? Or maybe only people with the problem read this thread. $\endgroup$ May 7, 2016 at 17:05

    $\begingroup$ It is certainly a bug: "Indicates you've found an erroneous or unexpected behaviour in the system that needs to be fixed." Well, it is unexpected and erroneous and it needs to be fixed. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Is there a way to ping the devs? In theory, they should be watching for questions tagged as bug, but clearly they aren't. $\endgroup$ May 9, 2016 at 9:49

    $\begingroup$ @EmilJeřábek SE employee activity is usually pretty low over the weekends. Since this question popped up on a Friday, I'm willing to give the devs the benefit of the doubt for now. Lots of bug reports come in across the network, and there are a limited number of people looking at them. Admittedly, there probably would be faster turnaround if an SE employee was actually active on MO. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @EmilJeřábek ... So ... do not conclude the devs do not watch here, when it could just be that it is the weekend. $\endgroup$ May 10, 2016 at 14:03
