On parts of your new website, you are using white fonts on an off white background, and they are nearly impossible to read. Example, on my want list, the titles of the series are in white with that off-white/tan color as the background. They are almost completely unreadable.

Can we get the color changed to black or something? White font is generally horrible unless you have a dark background.

So after some more digging, it looks like your site might not be fully compatible with Google Chrome, which is unfortunate.

I logged into the site with Microsoft Edge, and I see that there is supposed to be a gray ribbon behind the impossible to ready text, that makes it readable. Loaded fine in Edge.

Cleared all my cookies and site data in Chrome and reloaded your page, and still just white text on an off white background and unreadable. Seems like Chrome can't display whatever it is you are putting behind the text.

It looks like this is what generates that gray background, but it doesn't work on Chrome anywhere it is used.

When you inspect the page in Edge:

It doesn't look like your style sheet is entirely compatible with Chrome. I see that there are 17 fewer lines on the Chrome style sheet than the Edge style sheet, which tells me more is missing that just this gray background.

So none of your dark backgrounds are showing in Chrome. Is it a formatting issue with your style sheet?

So this is in Edge:

.gray-bg {
background-color: #90a4ae !important; }

.gray-bg-dark {
background-color: #738993 !important;
}

The gray-bg works in Chrome and Edge.

The gray-bg-dark doesn't. But note the closing bracket } is on a separate line.

Nothing with the closing bracket on a separate line like that is loading in Chrome.

Again, these two button styles load in Edge, but don't appear in Chrome;

.btn-dark {
background-color: #4D5763;
border-color: #404C58;
}

.btn-dark:hover, .btn-dark:focus, .btn-dark:active, .btn-dark.active, .open .dropdown-toggle.btn-dark {
background-color: #404C58;
}

Closing brackets on a separate line. It looks like you need to debug the style sheet to take those extra carriage returns out, so that the site formats correctly in Chrome.

Chrome has a 63% share of the market place on web browsers, so you sort of missed the big fish...

Try doing a hard refresh with Chrome.
hold down Ctrl and then press F5 on your keyboard.

I am using Chrome and it is working ok for me.

One possibility is the version of Chrome. Chrome doesn't always update on its own. You can go to settings

I am currently using Version 117.0.5938.150 (Official Build) (64-bit)

What is your version? You can reach via

chrome://settings/help
