Author Topic: Forum has a new red background? Or is it just me? Solved - was just me.  (Read 10,249 times)

I'm running Firefox3.0b5 in safe mode, thinking that it might be my webdeveloper bar or something like that, but the forum still has this weird red background and no-one's said anything!  I'm a little bit paranoid because I also have something weird going on on Flickr (three of my thumbnails - the square ones - are showing up as a different picture) which also started last night.

I've checked my processes (using procexp) but can't see anything unusual going on - but perhaps this forum is now supposed to be red?

Ah - the penny dropped as soon as I posted this - I cleared my cache (which does not happen automatically in Firefox safe mode) and everything is back to normal on both sites. 

That was strange though!

Not here - try emptying your firefox cache and restarting?

it definitely doesn't show up in my browser (firefox too) - it looks so ghastly. :o anyway, you can do as f0dder suggested, use the "Clear Private Data" option. and if that doesn't work, try creating a new profile then browse DC with it.

Aw, thank you -yes, it was ghastly!

I realised I needed to clear my cache and it worked - I edited my post (and the title) before either of you posted - sorry about that!
