Okay so this is a weird problem I've never encountered before...

A couple websites I go to (one is a wiki-site, and the other is the Black Mesa Source forum) have dark backgrounds--black or gray. A few days ago I go on the sites, and both of them are bright white backgrounds, and painful to read. No mention was made by anyone else of the change, so I'm thinking it has to be me. I haven't changed any settings that I'm aware of on my computer, so I dunno. Do you guys see these sites as having white backgrounds too? I swear they were dark a few days ago...

I do run adblock, though I'm not blocking anything on those pages specifically.

EDIT: okay this is super weird. THIS page is showing up properly:

Maybe the issue IS on their end. Hrmph.

Thanks Lava, that actually helps. That means it is something on my end. I still see white on the first two, but a proper dark background on the last. Hrm.

Step 1, clear your cache.

What browser do you use?

Yeah, cache clearing was the first thing I tried too, since the change was so sudden. No dice though.

Also: Firefox.

Try Google Chrome. It's made some pretty good leaps and bounds, and is just as good as Firefox.

I agree, Chrome is ready for prime time. If certain extensions aren't holding you back, it is looking like a front runner at the moment.

"It's definitely a website." I was zoning out earlier and that's what popped in my mind! Question
