Just a few minutes ago, I noticed on a thread that the menu bar at top had a background that faded from left to right, top to bottom, from gray to white - this made the text on the right hand side (Search, Members, Profile, etc) impossible to see. I refreshed, and it went back to the gray bar - so I am not sure if you guys were playing around or what, but I'll keep my eye on it. Once again, on IE8 here (FF3 @ home).
yeah, you probably loaded the page at the middle of an update of the style.css to the whole forum, no worries.
thanks for your concerns
