Why is the background sometimes white and sometimes black? I thought it was "logged in" vs. "not logged in", but then it turned around on me...what the heck?
Personally, I like the white background since it ties the site together.
(Also, when is the "History" link going to work?)
The history link will work when I'm less lazy and write it. (Actually, I've just been finishing Urge, so I've been tied up.)
As far as the background - hmm. Have you refreshed your browser? It should always be white now, but if you still have problems, go to "Edit Your Preferences" above, and choose "New Forge" as your theme.
