Is it me or has the front page color been broken for days now? It's been all white for days... Couldn't find any other topic on that.

Strange... I'm not getting anything like that at all. What browser do you use, and what version?

Same here, using Firefox.

I'm also using Firefox, but the homepage looks normal. Is a CSS file somehow getting blocked for you?

I'm using the latest version of firefox, and it looks fine for me. I also just checked in internet explorer, and it looks fine there too.

Firefox 8.0

I just checked IE (which I never use) and it's not broken there.

What might be the problem? Something on the programming side or on my side? I didn't change anything lately, I think...

*edit* to clarify: The background color of the news is white, so I cannot read the news unless I select the text with the mouse. Everything else seems fine.

You could try messing with the display options. The link is underneath the Doom Info/Community/Feedback panel.

Doesn't work. Set theme to "No CCS". Did not work.

Maybe try disabling hardware accelerated rendering? It's under Advanced in preferences.

Looks normal to me, though I haven't updated from Firefox 6.

Might have something to do with the ads on the page. For me the ad is rather messed up as well.

Yes, the add is messed up for me as well.
Also, I am now posting from my work PC. Completely different system, FF version is 3.6.24 here - and the color is f***ed up here as well!
IE works for me on my work PC as well, though...
Maybe one of the site coders might want to look into this?

*edit*
It's the add! I just installed addBlock Plus and its gone. When I don't block Doomworld, there is an ugly add appearing in the upper left: Some centrify.com offering me a "windows audit", "flights to stockholm" and "stay at grand hotel". Its right on top of the random Doom picture and the background color of the news is white.

I have no idea if the admins have control over that but it's really nasty if you don't have an add blocker installed...

*edit* Here is what it looks like:

There's a front page? (Looks fine to me in Firefox, but I'm using adblock.)

Cannot confirm, even after disabling AdBlock and NoScript. Perhaps it's a regional or cycled ad?

Firefox version 8.0.

I just have the normal layout and I'm using Firfox 8.0 as well.
Nothing wrong here.

It's caused by some of the javascript that the doubleclick ads include on the page. The script uses document.write to add some new elements to the HTML, including a <body> element with an attribute style="background-color: transparent". Even though it's crazy for a script to be adding a second <body> element half-way through the page, browsers do their best to handle it, and the net result is the transparent background gets applied to the page.

The same thing is happening on other Telefragged sites, e.g. http://www.atomicgamer.com/ so I don't think it's likely to be anything Doomworld has done or can solve. Likely somebody at telefragged screwed up one of their php ad templates, and the script was meant to be included in an iframe, but is instead being included in the main page.

That would explain why I don't see it, doubleclick is blocked in my hosts list - along with a lot of other crap.

The color is broken for me too, for a long time already, didn't mention about it because I didn't really care. I use Opera 11.52. I tried all the alternative looks but they didn't help.

Using Firefox 8.0 too, and the colors work fine for me. Disabled adblock plus and the colors were still there.

It works fine on Internet Explorer 9. Clearly you guys are using the wrong browsers. I can't imagine why anyone would go through the effort of opening IE9 to download an inferior browser and use that instead.
