I'd bet an important part of my body that I've found this regression range for this particular problem before, but I can't find the relevant bug. So after some testing, here's a range:

Works (Sub-forums visible)
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/2007012404 Minefield/3.0a2pre

Broken (Sub-forums and other stuff not visible)
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/2007012503 Minefield/3.0a2pre

Checkins to module PhoenixTinderbox between 2007-01-24 03:00 and 2007-01-25 04:00 :

Note: The text is actually present (you can see it if you highlight the page with ctrl-a for example). CC'ng Mats since (if i'm not totally loosing it) he helped me with this problem before.

iirc, the problem is because of bug 347912; firefox has implemented the 'transparent' keyword from css3-color and the cdfreaks css has stuff in it like:

a:link, body_alink
{
	background: transparent;
	color: transparent;
}
a:visited, body_avisited
{
	background: transparent;
	color: transparent;
}
a:hover, a:active, body_ahover
{
	background: transparent;
	color: transparent;
}

the relevant rules are:

a:link, body_alink
{
	background: transparent;
	color: transparent;
}

a,a:visited {
color:#101454;
font-size:11px;
text-decoration:none;
border-bottom:none;
}

|a:link| is stronger than |a|, thus the color is transparent.

Ok I am no CSS guru, so what do I need to tell the admin of the site to do?

He should remove "color: transparent;". It doesn't make any sense.
