Reply box is a hideous grey?

Since this is also like this on my laptop I'm assuming this is the same for everyone?

The reply box is now grey?

I'm sure it was originally white or the Absinthe I had last night is stronger than anticipated!

    Mine is gray, too - and I didn't give it a second thought. No biggie.

      Seems to have gone grey last night.

      I think it is awful myself.

        I noticed it as well along with a different font when typing a reply.

        I originally thought, How in the heck did I reset my reply box default settings, but when I posted a new thread and it was the same, I knew it wasn't my techie tartedness that did it.

        I don't mind it because in the large scheme of things, it matters, nil.

      It's kind of important since people who are creating threads rich in graphics tend to preview them in the window without needing to resort to "Preview Post". Sure people can work around it, but it's not too practical. The background of the reply box should match the background of the thread. Font too if I'm being picky which has also changed. It does look like an error has occured rather than it being an intended change.

      I wouldn't give it a second though otherwise.

    I think all of you have had too much to drink.


    .....or we have a sudden onset of colorblindness setting in.




    Looks white to me. :p

      It's white for me too. I understand it's only gray for members who are close to being banned, kind of an early warning system.

      Yeah, just kidding. Maybe it's been changed back since Jody and I both see white. I never did see gray.

    Mine is grey too and I hate it. Only because it doesn't look right. It doesn't actually affect me but why change it? Once it is posted it goes white anyway so what's the point?

        I suspect this must be browser related then?

        Firefox here.....(and grey).

        Yep, just tested in IE and the reply box is white.

    I just checked out FF - it's grey.

    Yup, gray in FF. It's official now, Firefox is whacked. I swear that browser has been getting worse and worse with each new version for a while now. So much so that I quit using it as my main browser and just use it for certain things.

    Yep, I've never used FF despite all the acclaim it got/gets.
    But in Chrome and IE it's white.

      Hideous grey?

      Come on, we're supposed to be marketers. Let's at least try to rebrand it as "morning mist" or "silken shadow".

      But seriously, since I updated to the latest FF version, it has been acting up. There was a long thread upstairs about PayPal earlier today (now deleted) that FF wouldn't let me get past page 3 on. Had to read the rest of it in IE.

      Ho hum.

        I usually don't update anything. Update notifications will be the death of me.

        Somehow however, for some reason, I went through the entire supposed "overdue" list of everything that needed updating on Firefox a few days ago assuming that I was maybe being too stubborn in my ways and missing out on all things great.

        Lo and behold, the only thing I was missing out on were problems. :rolleyes:

    The colour is dependent of which "editor mode" you are in, try switching editor (top right of box A/A) mode to see.

    I did not like the gray or the font, either, but clicking the "edit" choice turned me white once again! I was going to test that before responding here anyway.

    By the way, I use FireFox and am happy with it for the most part. (Better than my former IE.)
