Has anyone else noticed a blue-ish tint to some of the characters on the forum pages? Almost the color that links will have.
I thought it was maybe my display or gfx card, but it doesn't appear on any other sites or in any other apps, just this one web site and only on the forum.

Haven't noticed anything of the sort but I'll have the devs follow up on it if it's happening. Do you think you can provide a screenshot of this?

The odd thing is, if I take a screen shot of the page, the Blue-ish tint doesn't appear. It is only in the active page.

That is really curious, but unfortunately I don't know what to tell you since I can't seem to replicate this. I'll make a mention of this to the devs, but without more to go on I'm afraid there isn't much they can do.

As a wild shot in the dark, could it possibly be browser related?

I think you may be onto something. I just remembered that I just did the latest FireFox update to 33.0. It's started happening after that.

Update: I'm using IE now, and the issue is not present. That must be the problem.

Problem solved (I think).. The problem might have been on my end. Somehow, my CCC/My digital flat panels/Pixel Format got changed to YCbCr 4:4:2
I changed it back to default (4:4:4) and the issue seems to be gone. But for some reason it keeps going back to 4:4:2 after a few minutes.

Well then, that is an entirely different matter and one that I am not qualified to attempt to help with :p 

I'm sure somebody more familiar with various displays would be able to offer some kind of explanation though.

OK thanks. I just wanted to pass on the conclusion so this thread can be closed. I may open another in the graphics section if I can't figure it out.
