Looks like the tradestation ad is causing my Explorer5.0 to go back to the forums page immediately (again). -JPB
The Trading forum (and threads within it) with TradeStation ads turns the background from white to black, I also have IE 5.
IE 5.0 has plenty of security and display layout bugs so I suggest you upgrade. That version was introduced in March of 1999 so it's over 3 years old now and many issues such as the one you're both experiencing have been resolved since then.
5 and 5.5 are buggy as hell,I went to ver 6 a while ago and it stopped all those problems. Heres the link here. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie...loads/release.asp?releaseid=32210&redirect=no
