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.

UPDATE:

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

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.
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...

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.

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


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
Bertrand Russell

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

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.

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.

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...


=3 My new siggy!!! I worked so hard on it too, it wasn't that hard but it took some work, those who steal it will have lots of trouble!

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

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

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

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

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?
