Hi
I hope this question hasn't come up before (I did a search but couldn't find any info...)

Around two days ago something very odd happened when I opend up Kudoz.net and downloaded the latest list of questions.

Hi
I hope this question hasn't come up before (I did a search but couldn't find any info...)

Around two days ago something very odd happened when I opend up Kudoz.net and downloaded the latest list of questions.

Under the "Give term help" tab, in the left-hand "Terms for translation pane", the text has become "invisible". If I scroll down this list, the application behaves as though the text were visible, displaying the relevant terms and suggested translations in the right-hand fields. And once an answer has been graded, then the grade appears in the left-hand pane, but not the term. It's almost as though the list of terms is written in white against a white background.

I have not deliberately changed any settings, installed or uninstalled anything on my computer lately, nor have I had this problem before. Under the Settings tab, I've tried resetting the dialogue box size, but it makes no difference, and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Kudoz.net, but to no avail.

Can anyone think what the cause might be? I hope it's not something glaringly obvious... ▲ Collapse

Operating system? Sep 13, 2003

Hi,

thanks for the bug reports. The behavior of KudoZ.NET is strange, indeed. Unfortunately, I have not explanation, yet.

Which Windows version are you running?

Best regards
Hermann

Running Windows XP Sep 14, 2003

It's interesting to hear that someone else has had the same problem. I'm running Windows XP, and have been since I first installed Kudoz.net (which worked fine for the first 5 months)...

I'm using XP too. But in my case, Kudoz.Net has had this display problem since installation.
