Strange background appears behind posts.
-
I use the the Digg 3 column theme on my helderbergphoto.com blog and it has started displaying green bars (the same shade of green as the menu at the top) as a background behind the posts, but not the side bars. If I go to the theme customization page the preview appears normally as it should. But when you open the blog normally the green bars appear. I am not using custom CSS on this blog.
I have screenshots of the standard view showing the problem at http://goo.gl/Etpbp and the preview that doesn’t show the problem at http://goo.gl/iCn2v
Is there something I can do to correct this or has a bug been introduced into the theme? If it’s a bug how do I get someone to fix it?

You blog requires Theme Staff attention. I have flagged this thread so it will be moved to the Themes Forum where they can deal with this issue.

Thank you. I missed that there was tagging. I don’t think I’ve ever needed to post a support request before.
-
You’re welcome and well done. You provided all the required information when you posted. As it’s the weekend I think you will have to be patient while waiting for a Themes Staff response.
-
I’m a software developer so I know to provide as much info as possible when reporting problems.
I realise that this might take a while to address. As I’m using free hosting and a free theme I can’t exactly demand service. :-) Fortunately the blog is still usable, it just looks odd.

For the record, I’m not seeing this in any of the browsers I use (so it’s probably a browser issue).
-
I don’t think it is a browser issue. I see the problem not only in both Chrome and IE 10 on Windows 8 but also in both Safari and Dolphin HD on my iPad.
-
I’m not seeing it either. If it is not a browser issue could it be something cached in your router?
-
Perhaps, I have heard from another member of our club (it’s our club site) that he isn’t seeing it either. I’ve never heard of something being cached by a router before but I’m going to restart it and see if that makes a difference.

I’m really confused now. I have seen this happen on Windows 8 in Chrome and IE; on iPad in Safari and Dolphin HD but not in Chrome. Then I got my Windows 7 laptop out and the site loaded without the problem so I did a save complete for so I could compare the code. I refreshed on the laptop and it reloaded with the problem. Saved the page again and compared with the save from the good load but there was no code difference at all. Refreshing repeatedly got the problem about half the time, the rest being fine.
Back on my Windows 8 desktop I can now refresh in both Chrome and IE and not get the problem most of the time. It’s still happeing in Safari and Dolphin on the iPad where I notice a behaviour that might help to explain what is happening. in both of these browsers the pages load fairly quickly and the loading progress bar moves quickly to around the 75% mark and stays there for a long time, perhaps a minute or more. At this point if you scroll the page up and down it has loaded fully, including all images, but clearly it is waiting to complete something. Then at the point it completes and the loading progresss goes to 100% and disappears the green bars suddenly appear. It seems almost like some Javascript is running and changing the page in some way that causes the strange display.
But at least the problem seems to have been isolated to just me. It’s all very strange.
