Purple Background?

Fri Apr 22, 2005 4:00 pm

On certain pages, very occasionaly, the background changes to a stripy purple background.
Anyone else seen it?

Which pages?

It's likely that they're trying to make every section of the site have some sort of backround, like they did with Terror Mountain.

Interesting, I've never seen anything like it before. Frankly, I don't like it either.

I think it's code bleeding over from some blocked add. Every once in a while I get a random page where all the text is white. There is always a box to submit my zipcode covering the top bar partially, right where an add would be if it wasn't blocked. It's kind of annoying =/

That would be very annoying! It's such an obnoxious color!

At least it doesn't have orange spots all over...

I get that too. Quite a bit when refreshing on the shop wiz.

:lol:

I thought you meant it was white with light purple/lavender stripes, not that horrific thing! If it's really caused by an ad, at least we can report it.

I got it at the stock market - I forgot which banner ad was displaying at the time though, d'oh!

I haven't seen the purple stripes yet, but I get the white text all the time. At first I didn't realize it was white, I thought the text was just missing, until one time I highlighted over it. Very annoying when trying to shop wiz. >.<

I've actually missed a really cheap price on something (can't remember what) because I had to take an extra moment to highlight the price>:{

Yes! I thought I was the only one seeing this. It's seriously annoying :x
