This is not a cookie/cached stylesheet issue (I have cleared my cache, but I'm not about to clear all my cookies).

The box I am typing into is bright orange and the text is 8 point in size.

Here is the HTML for the reply page:

<textarea cols="80" rows="5" class="formboxes" wrap="soft" name="Body"></textarea>

And the matching stylesheet entry:

.formboxes
{
FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: geneva, arial, sans-serif;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9900
}

What it looks like:

Loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of text

It's a knightmare to read and very difficult to use the scrollbar successfully, I've got a headache after putting together this post.

So removing the font size and more sane colors settings would give:

Loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads and loads of text

That's:

.formboxes
{
COLOR: #CCCCCC;
FONT-FAMILY: geneva, arial, sans-serif;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #444466
}

Someone is going to have to do some work on the stylesheet.

By the way the buttons are bright green !

What browser are you using Tony ? (I am using IE5.5 on Win2KSP1)
