Color

[Depilego]

Someone changed the color of the website and I can't read much anymore. What happened?

And why does it say all the members are in the trash?

What color are you seeing?
Are you accepting cookies?
Have you logged in?

Several accounts have been banned recently, perhaps that is what you're referring to.

I must be logged in because I was able to post. This is making my brain panic.

What color did you used to see?
Do you see your user ID after BOTH of the places on the index screen that say 'Welcome'?

[Depilego]

I see my username in both places. I don't remember what color I used to see. I haven't been on in a while, but it wasn't this color in the screen shot since I can't read anything.

At the bottom it says all the users are in the trash and they are crossed off.

[Rusty]

Several users are crossed out and appear in a color that is hard to read. They are accounts that have been banned and will be moved to the trash bin (as the legend explains - the color and text match what the legend shows). The other users in that area that aren't so marked are members who have visited the forums in the last 24 hours.

Other than checking that list to see who has visited the forums in the last 24 hours, you don't have a thing to worry about. User accounts are banned and deleted throughout the year but there is always a great influx at the beginning of each year. This is probably the first time you've seen banned users in the list.

Why do so many people get banned? I'm probably going to get banned soon because I haven't learned Spanish yet.

[Rusty]

You won't get banned if you adhere to the Terms of Service.

It's strange that you're seeing that bright yellow background. It might be a local problem. Try resetting cookies or setting a different Forum display from your Control Panel, User settings & options, Forum skin.

Many thanks for keeping the forums clean!

Ditto!!

Thank you very much!

I set it to blue and it fixes it, but every time I close the browser it goes back to yellow.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

That sounds like a local problem. Try deleting your cookies and probably that will fix the issue.

It seems to be working now. I don't know what happened.

Thanks.
