I can't seen unpothled text without highlighting it....

EDIT: It looks like the effect's more localised than I thought. See below.

Not happening to me. Weird. Are other sites behaving normally for you?

Hmm...my mistake...it seems to be more of a localised problem. It's happened to the most recent ones in this thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=3i9ck31o6edavevwri8rtja8&page=50#1243

I know I definatly didn't put any markup in my post at least....

I can see it too. A lot of text in this page is "whitened".

It's... weird.

Using Firefox 4 and I'm not seeing it. What browser are you guys using?

When I put text under no-wiki tags, the text inside is white.

I'm using Internet Explorer 8.

IE 8 as well.

EDIT: The problem seems to have cleared up on the next page.]]

Hmm. Looks like this bug popped up again in a different form.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

It looks like someone was using the comment bug.

It was Balmung.

The comment bug with white text? I thought that only lasted to the end of your post with colors.

No. It'll take over the entire page.

I've been using it with purple in the jammies thread and it only goes through my signature on that post. I guess white text works differently.

I might have been wrong, but generally adding comments into markup tends to do weird things.

I tested it with white and it only included the later parts of my post and signature. Maybe it was spoilertext?

Tested. It wasn't that. Are there other ways to turn text white?

Oh, that. Not a glitch so much as Balmung screwing things up for the lulz. Or it is a glitch, but one that's not likely to be triggered accidentally.

I played around with it a bit. In Firefox, the white text only affects the rest of your post. In IE, it whites out the remainder of the page.

I found out last night that I was responsible for this happening to a couple of pages. Turns out something that in most browsers only turns your post's "edited" message (and sometimes your signature) invisible works on the rest of the page in IE. I reverted all locations where I did it and told Balmung about it, so by now, things should be all good.

^^He was triggering a glitch deliberately, but wasn't expecting it to do anything to posts that weren't his.
