The site's main background color is undefined
« on: October 03, 2009, 12:03:26 am »
Most people wouldn't notice this, since most people leave their default page background color as white, but, one day I changed my default to a light blue since the white was a little too intense on my eyes, then today decided to check up on the good ol' compendium and was greeted with the following display:

The color problem remains the same on every page of the site, including the forum.  The whole issue is extremely easy to fix - just a small bit of code that actually tells the web browser to make the background white rather than just assuming the browser will make it white on its own.  Ramsus could probably do it in two to five minutes.

I've noticed it before. And I bet Ramsus could do it in 30 seconds.

Actually, it took 10 seconds, most of which was logging into a remote shell and starting up vi.

Honestly, I shouldn't have left it unspecified to begin with, since I know better and usually don't.
