Hi, this white box appears after clicking to sign into the site,  it happens so fast that i cannot get the firefox inspector on it to see what css it is. 

 

It is annoying because it is white and my theme is dark, it looks horrible..

 

I think it might have something to do with the background for the confirm messages that we get but im not sure.

 

Does anyone know what css this is so i can change this.   I am running macabre but i think this is part of the default css not special to this theme.

 

see attached image.

I made an account on your site and tested login. I don't get the white box. Tested chrome, version 27.0.1453.110 m. Also tested with ff version 21.0.

Thanks paul, its not a constant occurance, to get this to happen i usually log out and back in again several times OR it happens the first time i login in sometimes out of the blue.  I think it might just be some lag issue but im not sure thats why i wanted to try to capture the css and find out what was happening. 

 

I noticed that sometimes when this happens i dont aways get the green confirm message of authorization so thats why i thought maybe it was the background css container of those messages but i changed that css for that to show a certain odd color and turns out the background for the messages was there so i could see it but that box (when it ocurred) was still white.

 

probably out of 10 x  logging in, it might happen 3x, its not so bad on a white theme, i have seen it happen on this support when i login and its just a flash, but on my dark theme it really looks bad when it happens.

 

Of course this was on IE i dont recall it happening on the others.  That does not mean it hasnt it just means i dont use the others enough to really know for sure.
