by EconoUSAparts Sat Jan 19, 2013 5:28 am For some reason for a week or 2 now when I try to read the site on my smart phone the background to the threads are black and I cant read anything. I can access the site fine,I can even navigate around fine and see everything while doing so. I can read the category and topic titles fine but when I open a thread all the background is black and I cant read anything and no images will display. Did something with the site change?

Nothing has changed... Try looking at the bottom and selecting "classic view" or something like that... Just what I read somewhere... I don't hava a phone smart enough so I'm only guessing

Yeah, I'm getting the same black on black issue. Not sure why. I can only read headings...

I have seen that issue with the mobile site ever since I tried it months ago with Android 2.2 and 4.1. Are you on Android, Apple, or Windows?

I'm on iPhone through Verizon FWIW...
Checked my settings, thought I could change
the background myself, but no luck so far.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on "Classic version" in the lower left hand corner

That is a work around but not a fix to the mobile site.

Yes you are right but it works
I almost always prefer the full versions of web pages over mobile versions anyway so it works for me

Hmmm, interesting, I'm now getting "black on grey"
on my phone, readable. Except for specific threads,
they are still black on black... ...hours ago it
was all black on black. I've made no settings changes

Hitting classic version worked for me,thx. I wonder why it worked fine for a year without ever doing that?

just a guess here, you may have been viewing classic version for over a year, and maybe you changed some setting/cleared a cookie/cache or reset something that made it revert to the mobile.
I hated the mobile version, it was useless to me. I switched to classic and over a year ago and my devices (ipad and iphone) always load in classic version without me having to toggle every load. so the problem with the mobile version is still there. I’m assuming that as long as the settings for the black background on the regular site stay as they are, the mobile version will be useless.
