RS-Linkify
Quick find code: 261-262-33-65181208
^ yep that colour thing. Though that looks much worse than mine.

I don't get it on all pages though, and disabling Linkify doesn't fix it. Not sure if that's the same for you.
If others can reproduce that glitch (or similar) without RS Linkify running then I have a good idea what's going on.

It could be something as simple as Hardware acceleration whilst browsing, or something?
Yeah it may be something like that. And thanks I'm not worried now, just wasn't sure how I came across
Oh I have just written some code to sort out smileys in links, not sure if there will be adverse side effects so I'll run it for a day or two before updating.

Thank you so much Amaethwr, I really appreciate your help with this. I can't thank you enough <3
Okay the good news (for me it's good news) is that it's not RS Linkify causing it.
I haven't done an update recently enough to coincide with this glitch and the updates I have done are completely unrelated so it was unlikely something I did.
I have a theory why this is happening and it may also be the cause of some other issues too.
I haven't read anything official as yet but I noticed that chrome (since it's last update) is now much stricter on how it handles javascript.
Sloppy or depreciated code that in the past didn't cause problems seems to be now spitting the dummy.
I found this out on my site, I had some code that was poorly written and all browsers seemed to handle it fine, but since chrome updated it failed in a big way. The solution was easy for me, I just had to adhere to strict coding standards (I didn't know as much as I do now back then) and the issues were resolved.
I know for a fact lots code on the forums is old, it may simply be that chrome's javascript engine wont tolerate it any more. This is only speculation based on my recent experiences.
If I'm right, it's actually a very good thing, because deprecated code, using bad practices, and poor coding standards should not be encouraged.
I may be wrong about this, but I have a feeling neglected web sites are going to feel it more and more and time passes.

would you have to rewrite much of Linkify, or could you just sort of cut and paste bits?
Probably a bit of both, it's hard to say.

I feel somewhat useless... But I don't get this issue at all. :x
I don't get it on either version of Chrome, Linkify or not. I don't get it if I have custom colours set, rather than the default either.
Well knowing that you don't have an issue is actually quite helpful
It's strange though, for me on this page I have no issues with the colour menu, but on other pages I do.
