Midnight Skin Background Color Not Working on Search Results Page

419 187 May 19, 2025 at 07:01 AM
Up until very recently, I had no problem looking at search results.

Now, they are no longer following the forum skin background color making the search results unreadable.

Example URL: https://slickdeals.net/search?q=laptop&searchtype=normal&filters%5Bforum%5D%5B%5D=&sort=last_comment_activity&filters%5Brating%5D%5B%5D=all&filters%5Bdate%5D%5B%5D=1095&filters%5Bprice%5D%5Bmin%5D=299&filters%5Bprice%5D%5Bmax%5D=699&filters%5Bdisplay%5D%5B%5D=hideExpired

I've tried it on 3 different browsers (chrome, firefox and edge), on 2 different computers so I don't think it's a computer/browser issue.

Edit, I played around and it doesn't appear as if ModBlue background skin is working there either. It works fine elsewhere, just not on the search results page.

Windows 10 PC, running newest versions of FF and Chrome. I don't use edge, just tried it to make sure no add-on was causing the issue. (It wasn't.)

Hi there,


It's definitely not just you or your computer/browser. Someone else wrote in about that on Friday and a ticket was created then for our devs to look into it. I don't think I knew about the modblue background having issues as well so I'll add that into the ticket too. Thank you Smilie

What's happening is that while dark mode still works on most of the website, the search results page messes it up. The background suddenly turns white, but the text stays in dark mode colors (like bright beige), so it becomes really hard to read the titles of each post.

Hi just let me know if you have any need for data or logs etc. I have tested in both chromium based and FF based browsers on different devices and networks so I'd be happy to oblige if I can.
