Have you got onto the 'sober workplace' view? - see 'customise talkboard' at the top of the page

No, that hasn't changed. Oh no! I was hoping this was everybody not just me. HELP!

This page looks like this...

I'm sure the posts used to be divided, and the names of the posters were in boxes or something. Can't cope with this!

It's really strange! I'm definitely on the right 'talk page setting'- have been through and changed it and then changed it back. But the screen is resolutely refusing to change!

zippitippitoes - how long does it take to go back to normal?

What browser are you using and have you tried a new one recently?

Internet Explorer is the built in browser, but you have could have Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari etc.

I use Firefox - it is normally fine, but it suddenly just 'popped' when I namechanged.

That is really weird - I changed onto the 'muted' colour scheme and the boxes came back, but then went back to the old one, and the boxes have disappeared again. AAAARGH.

Firefox has settings to choose colors and override the websites colors. I can't see how that would get turned on, but it might be worth checking.

click here to see how to set them up Though in your case you want to set it to let the website pick the colors.

I've tried that, but it's still ticked as let website pick the colours.

Hmmm, maybe try Internet Explorer just to see if it does the same thing. It won't open on its own since you have firefox, but you must be able to run it by going to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

Weirdly I just switched back onto the 'Classic' colours (had been using muted) and it is fixed. Very weird.
