I am having this same issue now as well. Seems like it started a week or so ago?!

Did anyone ever come up with a fix for this?

+1 this is EXTREMELY annoying! It's impossible to post, and with Windows 8 the screen is completely black so you can't even see what you're typing.

I have to draft this in Mail then paste into the frame.

By the way - it happens every time you click on this site - not just links, but if I click to post the screen goes black. Click on it again, it goes white. Etc, etc.

FYI - this ALSO happens on my ipad - so it's not JUST an issue with IE or Windows.

I have the same issue. Just got a new PC running Windows 7. Hoped it would not do it, but it still does. It also did it on my last PC running Windows Vista. The PC prior to that ( about a year ago ) was running Windows ME and did not have the issue. It sure is annoying.

I made the switch to google chrome and I found that I liked it better than ie. No more black screen and faster web searches.

This worked for me (Windows Vista with IE 9) and after you do it once Windows remembers and you won't have to do it again. Just click on the page with the break mark in the middle. It will turn blue and then the dark screen problem goes away. Hope this helps you guys. Brian

Good deal, here is more info incase for whatever reason you need to turn it off. I haven't run into another site where this happens but it explains how to turn it on for every site if you want. Brian

Hey T-Fatty, I added a red circle to stage169's arrow on the screenshot to help locate the thingy to click on to fix this problem.
