Text Color Changed, Unreadable

#0, by surfingusa, 10 October 2009 04:18 PM

Text in new posts is suddenly displaying in a light shade of pink. Barely readable.

Any ideas why this is happening?

One of my administrators said they still see the posts in black text.

This issue may only be with my account.

Is it possible someone hacked my account. There's people from another local, (vBulletin,) forum who aren't happy that a lot of their members created accounts in my forum. I was using the same password as I used there, so they may have been able to get into my account.

That wouldn't change the colour of your text.

Pink is the underlying colour of text in the forums - this is over-ridden by the forum CSS - something seems to be stopping the CSS from loading correctly... a  bit weird.

Would it be possible for someone to change the CSS settings if they were to log into my account?

I noticed one of the Administrators from the competing forum logged in shortly before this became an issue. He may have had access to my password and I believe he's a software developer.

Seems to be an issue with my laptop, but only in my forum.

I just logged in from my desktop and everything appears normal?

Any suggestions? I'm running Windows Vista on my laptop. (XP on desktop.)

I restarted my computer and things appear to be normal again.

Thank you for your replies.

It's back to pink text again.

Any suggestions.

Update: It only appears to be happening in one thread.

All other threads are in black text.

This is very strange. And, NO, I'm not intoxicated. LOL!

Can you post the address of the thread? Could it be that someone that Cut&Pasted something from another thread? This can occasionally pick up formatting from the wrong part of the post and place it into the thread.

The pink text began displaying on my computer immediately after the embedded YouTube video was posted.

Probably some result of having a youtube video inside the quoted text - there's something weird going on there. I must say that the text looks fine for me in FF and IE..

Try deleting the post with the YouTube video and see what happens.
