[|ALPHA|Mission85]

when using code tags the text in the tags comes out white which is the same color as the background of the code box so the text blends in unless you highlight it with mouse.

example:

this is some text in code tags

note: shows fine in the preview post thing, but displays differently after you view the actual post

I see that there a CSS rule ".post_body .post" which sets the color to "#FAFAFA" (which is nearly white).

When I disable this color in Firebug, the whole text in a post, including the text in the code tags, gets the color "#969696" inherited from the "body" tag.

This has two interesting effects for me: first, I find it in general more pleasing to read in this color on the dark background and it makes the text in code tags readable, too.
