I've had a report of the forum not displaying correctly from one member.
I don't have a lot to go on. Has anyone else been experiencing problems, if so; what O.S. & which pages?
The only recent change has been the plugin to condense display of long posts to help scrolling, especially mobiles. (apart from annual Xmas decs)

For info it is me who has problems, the usual background has changed from the normal green to plain black & there isn't the usual Forum Header. This is the same when using either Edge or Chrome, an update to the original post is that it's ok on a phone.
Please don't all reply with it's ok for me but if anyone else is having this problem please reply on this thread.
Ian.

From memory, Ian, the black v green background displays were a personal choice that you could set on your Profile by visiting Profile Settings and selecting "Forum theme".
I have just checked mine, and I have no choices, with 'chubbskin' the default.
Hopefully this gives Sav a bit more to go on .....

We have defaulted to Chubbskin as the only theme for several years, otherwise the 'go-faster extras' we have installed have to be applied to every theme.
The are a couple of other boards with the occasional user experiencing Ian's problem (or similar) and that might to be down to alterations to extensions recently. Ian, have ypu got Norton Safe Web as an extension? if so can yopu try disabling it temporarily.

No don't have Norton & have turned off McAfee with no difference.
It's weird that I can't select different colours to highlight text in posts as well. I have checked all settings in my profile & can't see anything that I can change.
Also tried on a second Laptop in the house & it's the same black background.

To eliminate the only change we have made recently, condensing the initial display of long posts, I have disabled it. Can you please let me me know if this has made any difference?

I'm glad about that - sorry, I do like that plug-in. Will re-enable it.
I'm stumped at the mo, will do a bit of googling

Had a second report of missing banner and background.
Proboards support are dealing with a couple of instances of similar where it appears that the proboards storage URL for some pictures is being blacklisted. If you see any security messages when suffering this problem please report here with full browser / opsys info.
I can see nothing on the forum that could cause it.

Afternoon
Yesterday I had to reboot my PC as I had lost connection with my broadband. I have Windows 8.1 and Google Chrome but after the reboot I have the dreaded black background.
Just to let you know.
Thanks Dawn

Still cannot see anything causing this and don't think it's anything to do with the forum or there would be many more reports.
Still looks like a blacklisting problem.
I've swapped the main banner below the advert banner with a bit of code just to see if it jogs anything, looks better anyway!

Have tried this using Chrome, not too sure what to tab, but it didn't make any difference when I select the colour picker to highlight text the whole block is Blue. There are no errors displayed, have emailed screenshot to Sav.

Yes so am I, I think. As in the background is back & the banner is also ok, but I still can't highlight text in different colours easily. Sav is aware and have reported it.
