I don't like this! Is this happening to anyone else? It's been a few days now and it's driving me crazy. How can I fix it? :evil:

    Well this is very frustrating indeed! It’s happening to me in both Firefox and IE.

    BWAHAHAHHA

    WTF!?

    Reinstall firefox or try a different browser.

    Maybe even a graphics card problem? are other sites and your desktop looking okay?

    It's happening in Firefox and Explorer and it only seems to happen here.
    I haven't noticed issues on any other websites I visit.
    Not only is it black, I've got a weird white line straight down the middle, too!

    And now, suddenly, after many days of darkness, it's back to normal!! :shock:

    Must be the technical help fairies at work, 'cause I haven't done anything on my end.

    I give up. It's black again. :roll:

    I mean, could it be a graphics card problem if no other sites are acting up? I would doubt it, but, who knows?

    Yesterday mine was all white with black letters when I was not logged on (don't know how to take a screen pic or I would show you). I actually preferred it.

    When I logged in, it went back to the green color.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    IF its fine for other sites and your screen is all messed up then your graphics card is fine, maybe your monitor is just broken or check your vga cable in the back of your monitor.

    I’ve checked my cables, I’ve cleaned out my cache, I’ve cleared my cookies, I’ve rebooted, restarted, stood on my head while drinking water and still nothing has worked! I’m at my wit’s end at this point.

    Waaah!

    How would I do that? The thing is, I haven't changed anything and the board used to show up properly and then one day POOF - all black. However, since the board changed the other day, my view has gotten better, though not perfect - I still have black borders around everything and there's still an annoying white line down the center of my screen.

    This may just be one of life's mysteries never to find resolution!

    mine goes black every time i make a post, but it goes back to normal in about 30 seconds or so.
    Peace, Love.

    How did you get a black background? I don't like this new one, it's too bright.
