How To Stop Skin Flashing One Colour To Another

Hello 

I am trying to work out "How To Stop Skin Flashing One Colour To Another" 

The two forums I have originally has a Blue and White skins, however I have changed the mainboard from White 
to Grey and Sky Blue.
However when going to a category the page for a split second goes to the original white then changes
to the changed colours.

One forum has a base skin set on Dark Blue which I found on a free skins site, however this does not stop the main forum
from changing to white. The other I have just changed the main forum white to grey with the same problem..... any ideas

It sounds like you have a problem in your CSS files or JavaScripts.

Basically one code is trying to fight the other to load.
My advice is chang all the settings you can in the ACP colour settings then anything you can't change that way then change the CSS files.

Also try and see if it has the same problem with other browsers.

I find that Firefox now runs slow and Edge runs faster and it was always the other way around.

Thanks, sorry my admin skills relating to css codes is basic,much better having someone who knows what they are looking for.

Please be my guest would you be kind enough to have a look   I will pm you the passwords

I will try and have a look to morrow if you like when I get some time or i will ask the Wife to have a look she is getting to grips with it all now too

Thanks, very much appreciated even yourself or Jenny 

I did try changing a colour code in the css files however it didn't work. 
I done this on my test site as I didn't want to foul up the main sites again.

Original code #e6e6e6 I changed to#A9A9A9 making no difference.

when you change a colour code clear your browser and then see if the change worked.

OR it could be in your CSS files add the code

Code: !important

to the end of the colour.

Okay I have just took a look in your forum and Don't see a problem what browser are you using ?

Hello Bob

I am still using Google Chrome, I have deleted browser and cache history it has made no difference at all.  

Here are three screen shots of the CSS files from start to finish.

Would you like me to ask the Admin panel for assistance if you and Jenny are too busy ?

The problem is we don't see the screen flash problem have you gave firefox a try and see if that has the same problem ?

I could maybe look at your CSS files later if i get some time as I'm working form home today and the boys are at their grans for the day.

Okay right away I see a small problem.

on this site https://cassinicaptures.forumotion.co.uk/ your Font Awesome code is not working
This should not give a problem with loading the page BUT it's not working.

All my browsers do a white flash first before returning to the grey background.
Google Chrome, Windows Edge, Firefox and Avast (My Internet Security and Anti Virus).
Thanks, I do appreciate this as it's a problem that I cannot fix due to my lack of experience. 
Both sites do this the other is https://uktvreportercaptures.forumotion.com
