LJ: WTF?

[cellio]

So, LJ seems to have rolled out some fugly new design, but I immediately clicked on "go back to old version" and that fixed at least most of it. (I haven't tried my reading page yet, nor posting comments; both of those are things they've broken in the past.) But the text in the form on the "post entry" page is now light gray instead of black, and I can't figure out from the page source what CSS I need to adjust to fix that. Has anybody already solved this? This is barely legible for me. I don't post here as much as I used to, but I still do some, assuming accessibility doesn't drive me out.

Comments

I saw comments about the new design, but hadn't seen it myself. Then I did, and as soon as I could turned it off. Things seem more or less back to normal for me, but ugh.

What were they thinking? Our userbase is shrinking, so let's drive off people who are still hanging on, and maybe new people will be attracted by the shiny?
