For what it's worth, I've just tried the site with Chrome and it works fine for me, just like it does in Firefox.

Yeah, I've always used Chrome on this site, never had a problem...

What is it that actually goes black? The whole part of the monitor or just inside Chrome?

Assuming you are on Windows, next time it happens press the PrtScn button n your keyboard (next to F12) and then paste into paint and save the file, then upload it here.

I've gotten this a few times before using Firefox. The entire screen doesn't go black nor does it stay black. Just a sort of flicker that covers the top half of the window

[kiona05]

it basically cuts my screen in half, goes black from the top halfway down. i can read posts in the area thats not black lol.

seems like its just google chrome that makes my screen like this. using internet explorer now...seems to be fine.

I have had a similar problem too Sly. When I start up this site on Internet Explorer 9 (Which I have always used on this site without and issue) I usually go to the home page. Once at the home page or even the forums, after a few seconds, the majority of the screen goes blank. This has only started recently, but it is a tad bit annoying.

Take a screenshot then.

Ok, I will, but I feel stupid right now. How do I take a screenshot?

Look on your keyboard for something like 'PRTSC' in the upper right. You may have to hold a function key 'FN' key to use the key's second function. Paste into Paint, save, then upload it.

Nope, thanks anyway. I looked all over my laptop, but do not see it for the life of me.

If you're using a mac, you'll have to google how to screencap; it's a little different. Otherwise, practice with some Where's Waldo? and take another crack at it.

Um, it is not a mac, it is a windows laptop. In that case what should I do?

Google is your friend.

Okay, I will give that a try, but it is still quite annoying that it worked perfectly on Internet Explorer 9 before, and now it does not. WTF!

you don't have a print screen button? it should be up where the f1-12 buttons are.
