Can't see anything at all on PC

Well, I finally circumvented the problem enough to post a thread, but I have to highlight anyhting in order to be able to read it. I stil can't see the background, or anything of the sort, and it's highly annoying to have to deal with. And apparently, it's happened to a few other people so far as well, here's a screenshot.

Really? I thought that jokes were supposed to be funny, not prevnt people from posting or being able to use the forum.

Is this a joke as well?
I don't expect said person to be able to hack another user. and vB is also a secure software...

I'm sure it's just an April Fool's joke. If you type in white, you can read what you're saying. So, I suggest typing in white for now.

There's a good reason why I changed email and MSN accounts after a good five years of having the same account.

I'd recommend to mark the text with ypur mouse so you can see it.
Writing evcerything in white isn't a good idea, since when it gets changed back, you would have to change the color of all your posts again...

royal blue shows up on all themes ;3 so use that.

That's another small problem. The bar to change the theme is completely missing.

Thus A: It is an april fools joke, in which case heads will roll.

Or B: It is a hacker, in which case I hope to see the ban-stick employed.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Now we can't change themes till this is all over.

Geometric-sama March 31st, 2006 6:00 PM

Haven't we already found out it's a hack? I'm staff and I certainly didn't know anything about a joke.

Johto Boy March 31st, 2006 6:04 PM

Like someone else said, this is more annoying than funny. Great job taking the theme bar away too.

Shiney March 31st, 2006 6:07 PM

Recent events have lead me to believe that this was an april fools joke, and right now, I'm just waiting for the staff to show their "victory" posts from the lounge, ect. I do not find this amusing, and would like to know WHY the staff decided that such a joke would be appropriate.

Chiru March 31st, 2006 6:08 PM

I don't think a hacker would be able to do this unless they either got an admin's username and password or are able to hack into the site's coding and recode every single theme (which I'm not sure if you can do that or not). But I must say, whoever did this did a pretty thorough job; I've tried everything I can think of to get around this, but nothing works. I've even tried typing in the direct URL of different styles, but it seems like every style is all black.

Icy Soul March 31st, 2006 6:08 PM

This is really quite a bit frustrating... Since I can't use the little already-given-to-you thing to change the color of your font, I have to actually type in the code x.x

aaaa, I can't see what I'm typing x.x, I have to repeatedly apuse to highlight what I'm saying!!! Then try to get my place...

Thats it, now whenever I make a new post, I'll have to type what I want on a notepad, then copy and paste it here...

Chiru March 31st, 2006 6:12 PM

Psh, I bet the admins have their own secret little black-free style to use as they laugh at us >:|

It's because they overrode this style over users' layouts and set it to default... It is possible

Crysta Blade March 31st, 2006 6:18 PM

Either way, be it a joke or a hacker, I am not amused.

That makes several of us. I wonder what caused the IQ to drop to the point where this would be considered appropriate.

Shikon no Tama March 31st, 2006 6:22 PM

I'm not amused by this either. If it was a hacker, then that hacker did too much of a good job. >_>;

Jesus Freak Josh March 31st, 2006 6:22 PM

How exciting, it's just like the Great Eclipse of '52.

Seriously, I hope this is rectified soon. I'm really annoyed.

Eon-Rider March 31st, 2006 6:24 PM

Ehehe... I found a way to avoid this annoyingness...

With Firefox
Go to Tools ==> Options ==> Content ==> Colors... ==> Untick "Allow pages to choose..."

Not really, after all, we can still post and all, thus meaning that it's most likely an april fools joke, and since there's no real way of retribution, since they're the staff, that makes this highly innapropriate. >_>

Icy Soul March 31st, 2006 6:25 PM

I can hear the admins and moderators laughing at us now *squints* unless that's my concience (sp)...
Hm... (this notepad thing is going well for me...) Funny how the some Admins and Moderators seem to come post at these threads, and seem rather a bit calm about this whole issue, with this happening to all 'plain members'. Rather a bit out of charactor, isn't it?
*copies, and pastes onto forum*
