I'M IN THE DARK HERE

[Jigawatt]

In your css for the mce editor (http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/css.php?style=4&css=editor_contents) you have:

body,
body.mceForceColors
{
    background: #3F3F3F url('styles/rpgcodex/background.jpg') repeat-y;
    color: #FFFFFF;
 
 
    font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 
    background-color: ;
 
 
    background-color: ;
 
 
 
 
 
    line-height: 1.4;
 
 
    background-image: none;
 
 
}

which is likely confusing the hell out of IE8. Just rewrite that class to

body, body.mceForceColors
{
    background-image: none;
    background-color: #3F3F3F;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    line-height: 1.4;
}

and it should be all good*

*I do not have IE8 and can't test this, but it seems like it should fix it.

Make it so.

Actually in XenForo, that part looks like this:

body,
body.mceForceColors
{
@property "html.background";
background: #3F3F3F url('styles/rpgcodex/background.jpg') repeat-y;
@property "/html.background";
@property "html.font";
color: #FFFFFF;
@property "/html.font";
 
@property "body.background";
 
@property "/body.background";
@property "body.font";
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
@property "/body.font";
 
@property "content.background";
background-color: @contentBackground;
@property "/content.background";
@property "content.font";
 
@property "/content.font";
 
@property "primaryContent.background";
background-color: @contentBackground;
@property "/primaryContent.background";
@property "primaryContent.font";
 
@property "/primaryContent.font";
 
@property "messageInfo.background";
 
@property "/messageInfo.background";
@property "messageInfo.font";
 
@property "/messageInfo.font";
 
@property "messageText";
line-height: 1.4;
@property "/messageText";
 
background-image: none;
 
@property "editorContent";
 
@property "/editorContent";
}

But someone tell me how it looks now...?

Hmm it seems to be working now. Unfortunately that hasn't really improved my spelling.

Oops sorry wrong account.

Wow. That sure is ... something. Nice work getting it fixed I guess.

 

[Menckenstein]

Hooray.

Thanks DU. Made my sanity saving throw at work thanks to this fix.

 

[King Crispy]

YES!
