EDIT: 1st reply was the answer!

As of today, all of a sudden I'm blinded by a white background on the forum in Chrome on Windows 10 instead of the usual dark theme. FireFox is the same. At home, it displays in dark mode (Chrome on macOS 11). Anyone know how to resolve this?

It used to look like Google (Chrome on Windows 10):

Now it looks like (Chrome on Windows 10):

And here's from Chrome on macOS 11 (the way I want it to appear in Chrome on Windows 10):

So you can clearly see I have dark mode enabled in Chrome on Windows 10, because Google displays in dark mode, but for some reason MacRumors is no longer displaying that way. And it doesn't appear to be a coding change on the forum, because it IS displaying "properly" in Chrome on macoS 11, just not in Chrome on Windows 10.

Check the theme chooser at the bottom right of forum pages. It should be on MacRumors Autodetect or MacRumors Dark. Perhaps your setting got disabled?

Wow, thanks! That was it! Never knew that setting even existed, so I'm not sure how I could have changed it. It was set to AutoDetect. I chanced it to Dark, and that corrected the issue.
