Over the past couple days I have come to GameSpot and it has loaded the Light Theme, even though Dark Theme is selected. This can usually be fixed by refreshing the page, but it is still an annoying bug...

I've seen it happen a few times recently. Very annoying when it refuses to switch back to the dark theme though. I hate the white one so much.

Maybe that's just me but it fixed it temporarily. I'll have to go check later. I'm using chrome.

It fluctuates. Sometimes I get the white or black background, its pretty annoying that I have to click on the black background button constantly now.

 

EDIT: actually the white background always appears whenever I first go to Gamespot's homepage

I sometimes get the white background for the GS homepage, but when I go through to the forums it reverts back to dark. Annoyingly if I click the button to change from light to dark on the homepage, and then go through to the forums it thinks I want light forums, so have to click it again to go dark - for now I'm just avoiding the button until I've got to the forums.

I am as well, and sometimes it refreshes back to black, but sometimes it goes back to that horrid white. I say just get rid of the white all together. :P (Or at least make it less ugly, it just doesn't look good with the other colors and page layout to me). But yeah this is quite irritating.

Glad you started a thread on this and sure enough, others are having the issue too. Count me in although I was able to switch it back just now thankfully. Hopefully it lasts but I am getting the impression from other posts here it won't until some bug gets fixed. I'm using Safari on an iMac running OS X 10.8.3.

It's been doing the same for me for weeks now, I use white and it keeps changing to black ( many here complain about the white one hurting their eyes but it's the opposite for me, the black on messes my eyes up). The button used to change between themes is actually not fully responsive either, I sometimes have to click it multiple times for it to change.

FIX IT ALREADY! Wth happened, it used to be fine.
