Sins site shenanigans (Firefox 3 and to a lesser extent IE7)

from Sins Forums

Okay, some new quirks have appeared. Couple days ago I couldn't access Stradock's website with any of my browsers. That's since cleared up, but now there are some odd problems with this site.

 

I cannot log in with Firefox all of a sudden. There is no text in the 'login' button. In fact, the button does not appear, although it's actually there. When I move the mouse over where it should be, my cursor turns into the hand icon and I can click on it. However, when I try to sign in, it doesn't work. I click on the area where the login button should be and I immediately get the same page I was on and the sign-in boxes are still there with 'username' in the username field. I've tried deleting cookies created by the forum to see if that works but no go.

 

I have the IE plug-in for FF3 and interestingly when I change to the IE7 engine I can log in even though the login button stilll does not appear.

 

In IE7, the button also does not appear, but I can log in.

 

The button does appear in Opera and I can log in through Opera without issues as well.

 

Just wondering if it's a quirk of my machine or if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue?

Seems a good place to post my issue:

While logging in works fine for me, the quote button does not work in my copy of FF3 and does in IE7.

Also, some of the gold on white can be hard to read.

Okay, there's some real funky stuff going on with the site. Is there an ongoing update or something of that nature? Now the 'recent posts' box shows half the thread titles in a bright sapphire blue color which makes them extremely difficult to read.

 

*edit* This is occurring in all three browsers (FF3, IE7 and Opera). If I click on the link to the threads in the 'Recent Posts' box, when I go back to the Home page that thread now has the text in white again if it's still in the box.

Looks like it to me.

I encountered a quote box with white text on a pale blue background just a few moments ago...

Getting the same thing here.  Unvisited links on the home page under Recent Posts are an un-readable blue.  Visited links are white.

And, looking a couple of posts up, Kitkun's quote box is a nice grey with white text.  Very readable.  Mine, just above this post, is light blue with white text (which is what Kitkun mentioned).  Almost unreadable.

Also the spell checker in Firefox is broken here. >.<

It says asdgjakjsdgkask is spelled correctly. -_-

On the GPGNet forums the spell check works.

Yep. I'm seeing exactly the same behavior (text box oddness and spell check not working).

Ditto on Firefox's spell checker not working here.  I REALLY wish they'd fix that bright blue text on the homepage.  My eyes are bleeding.
