Problem with text in drop-down boxes [fixed]

Hi! I had a minor, yet very strange thing happen on my board recently. All the text in the drop-down boxes has turned a very light gray making it very difficult to read unless you highlight it. This is happening not only in menu options but also in the "reply to post" box. But all the text in the boxes that aren't drop-down boxes is fine!

The problem appeared to start after I added some new code, so I removed it, yet the problem with the text in the drop-down boxes still remains. I have opened my board to guests so you can take a look. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

remove this:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.titlebg {background-image: url(<style type="text/css">
<!--
.titlebg {background-image: url(URL OF IMAGE); background-repeat: repeat;}
-->
</style>); background-repeat: repeat;}
-->
</style>

Thanks for showing me that Richie. I had added some new title gradients today and must've messed up with my pasting.

However, the problem with the faded text still remains, since it started several days ago!

Hi

I am not seeing the problem you described. Have you rectified it?

[teestorms]

No..the problem is still there. Here's an example of what I see when I try to open a drop-down menu. This particular one is the Modify Board menu box.

[Craig]

Are all drop down menus like that? Also, what browser are you using?

[teestorms]

Yes, they are all like that. I use FF I think the latest version.

ETA: Just out of curiosity, I tried logging on my site on IE..and text in the drop down boxes is fine there. Then I went back to FF, and yep..the faded grey text is still there. So it appears to be something with Firefox.

Bump

[Craig]

Using FF myself. Is that the latest version of FF? If so, do you have any addons installed?

[teestorms]

I thought I had the latest version, but just to make sure, I went ahead and reinstalled Firefox. The version I was using must have gotten corrupted somehow, because after I reinstalled it, the problem went away!

The text is fine now..thanks for your help, Craig!

No worries. Glad it's sorted
