Does anyone else have grey font displayed in all the threads instead of black or is it just me all of a sudden?

There's a bunch of things going on behind the scenes at the site(s) right now, so don't be surprised if tomorrow the font changes to Book Antiqua in purple.

Mike I had it happen yesterday to my smart phone and all my computers as well for me it seems to be tied to my browsers JavaScript, I just worked around it. Here is how if your using Firefox, go into tools, options, content, and remove the check-mark from the "Enable JavaScript" box then refresh your screen all your text should be black again.

If you want to check it open any page showing gray font, go through the steps above and then click the refresh page button, the script should now be black, repeat the process and the font turns gray again.

There is an issue with posting if you disable the JavaScript though you can not get your post to hold returns or spaces etc so it can still be a bit of a pain having to re-enable the Javascript to post proper and disable it to read the font correctly when you return to the forums. I'm thinking Firefox or something else updated and needs to be rolled back a version I just haven't had a lot of time lately and not enough to get this fully sorted out yet.

SUN just pushed out an Java update last week so its starting to be installed on many machines if you have Java updates turned on in control panel. You can shut off the updates, and then remove the recent update in add/remove programs.
