It feels too bright..

My words are in a light blue on my profile here and you can't read it against the white background.. It edit view.. my words show as black.. I don't know how to change it so you can actually read my profile..

Help!.. I know everyone is asleep.. I'll see if I can fix it.. but its really hard on the eyes to look at it.. Anyone else have this problem?

Huh?? Did you fix it? Because everything looks the same as always to me. Black background with white letters on the profile page.

are you serious??? When I go to the front page here its shockingly WHITE background.. I just checked out other profiles and can't read it b/c all the lettering is light blue?? This is really really BIZARRE!!

What the heck is wrong on my end.. "My Forums" still doesn't work for me either??? The forums are still the same.. but editing and going to front page are CRAZY WHITE!!

Nope, looks the same on my end, and I refreshed the pages to make sure.

is it something to do with me being over here?? I have Firefox?? I have no clue.. I know there is work on this site.. but something happened. with the frontpage and editing profile area looking different.. forum area.. looks the same to me.. with the whole "my forums" thing not working at all.. just tells me i haven' subscribed to any forum?? Freaky!..

I'll check this site on my hubby's computer to see if its just my computer

It's normal to me, too. This is out of my realm of expertise, sorry. Hang tight - Amie may have a suggestion when she comes on.

Well, so glad you got that fixed! Nothing like giving the puter a kick in the side. Works almost all the time!!

What do you mean "my forums"....you mean the ones you subscribe to? Just curious, I haven't a clue how to fix...just wondering what your talking about....

Unsure what happened to you, but glad it wasn't our site doing it! Trust me when I say that the changes you described aren't the sort we're interested in making, lol.

Regarding your MyForums issue, we still haven't gotten an answer for them forum creators regarding this obvious bug, so we have no way to proceed to help you with that particular problem :(

Glad all is well!

I have never used "My Forums" ... Instead I click on new posts since last visit at the bottom of the forums. That way I don't miss anything new. If you click on the icon to the immediate left of the thread name, you will see only the posts that are new.

In this case, I know it isn't/wasn't your laptop since I logged in as you to see what you were seeing forum-wise and ""myforums" were missing for you despite working for me on the same computer. I think it must be gremlins.

thanks Amie for whatever you did to make it work.. I usually hit the "my forums" first and then click on "posts since last visit".. After posting here.. a measly 7400+ times.. its Habit!! LOL!

I wish we could accept the thanks, but we didn't do anything. We still have no idea what what happened to you did, nor any clue on how to fix it. Maybe someone gave the gremlins a cookie?

I am glad things are working again, Heather. I have my forum habits and it is positively uncomfortable deviating from them.

Not cookies - curry. Someone gave the gremlins some of my leftover curry because there is no way that I have eaten that much of it since last night.
