White/no background on Forum page

I notice that my forum page shows with a white background when using Internet Explorer. With Chrome it looks OK.

The issue appears to be similar (or the same) to https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-general-topics/theme-background-disappears-on-forum-page-wp-integration/ – I didn’t want to hijack that thread though.

 

I am using a theme by Yootheme called ‘Glass’ which is build on the warp 6.4 framework.

The link to my forum on the site in question is: http://body-builderz.com/forum

 

Any suggestions on how I could resolve this?

I cant really see the forum as its not ‘open’ yet… but on that forum page, using IE, I see the grey background just fine…  at least with IE versions 8, 9 and 10…

I am talking about the page background rather than the forum background.

You can see the difference below for IE9 and Chrome. Chrome successfully shows the expected grey patterned background. Whereas IE9 does not. I also notice that other styling is affected in IE9 including the menu font styles. For the other ‘non-forum’ pages of the website the expected grey patterned background is shown OK with IE9 – so this problem appears to be isolated to only the forum page.

See screenshots below.

@Andy, I knew exactly what you were talking about…

In IE 9 (and IE 8 and 10), I definitely see a grey page background… see attached screenshot…

So please check your browser mode and document mode (can see them with F12)…  of course, should be IE9 and Standards…
