Orange is fine but every now and then it flips back.
 
Transparent again for me last couple of days. Can't read the notifications.

I've just signed in, cos it told me I havn't posted anything for years ... so no caching here!
Anyway - it's black & white and transparent for me.

It will be. Click on the paintbrush at the bottom left of the page.
 
Knew I was tempting fate with my post yesterday! All gone transparent again.
Blue didn't work, but orange has.

Blue didn't work, but orange has.

Works for me sometimes, but keeps going back again.
 
I'm on it don't worry.

Brand new visitors often get it (try incognito and see) so that's a massive issue.

I've got lots of forums not doing it at all like www.tilerstalk.co.uk/bb for eg
 
Bugger! Been weeks without problems and now the I'm swapping between clear on some screens and Blue on others.
 
Yep - same here. Although something really weird happend last night - was viewing on my phone and got transparent, refreshed the cache on my phone browser (Firefox) and then after logging back in succesfully was getting error messages saying I had to valiate my account. Ignored that but have logged in on PC now just fine (although transparent again).
 
Mine is back to colour again :rolleyes:
 
Been on orange for the last couple of days, but just looked at the bottom of the page, where there's "new 2025 EDIT THIS ONLY". Clicked on this and I'm back to blue.
 
It’s hopeless , I can’t read anything the only thing that’s stays constant is this incessant bombardment of puerile advertising
 
The forum should look like this.

(Or similar)

If the forum is colourless, please scroll all the way down to the bottom of the forum and there's a tiny paint brush on the left. Use that to change the style, try a couple, one or two should work.

Still getting the odd report about this via email and PM.

Will setup a notice.
Yep, I have this issue.

Redone the site again and think I've clocked it.

On any device you have that's loading white pages only, clear the cache and log back in it should be okay now.
 
This is done with a cookie, right? it's not an account setting. Mine goes back to being barebones white after logging off. I don't mind it, even loads faster with my archaic internet connection.
Browser clears cookies/cache/temp files upon closing it.
 
I’ve been on the blue quite stable for a while now, but yesterday, just after the advertisement problem was fixed, it switched back to plain white… which I do find annoying as the drop down menus become transparent, and cannot read the text on them.

Just refreshed the page and it came back blue.


I’m pretty sure it’s device specific, so should be cookies… but maybe some other sweet baked product like a brownie. 🍪🧁🍰
 
Mine has been fine for a while but yesterday mine went back to black and white. The only scheme that would show blue was the 'edit this' one. I'm back on the normal setting now and it's all back to the blue setup again.
