BR Goo in Firefox partly illegible

At the moment I am looking at a practically completely white screen. Some of the writing on it is light grey. The window for posting is indiscernible (A white box against a white background.)
This is in Goo, in Firefox (not in IE - it's OK there). The goo blobs are still the right colour and size, and all the conversation pages are fine, but my Ps and all entries, the Front Page, etc, are half in Pliny. The font setting being still white (as in goo) there is even quite a bit of white-on-white. I have to mark it all with the mouse to be able to read anything.
Am I the only one with this problem. It turned up the day Pliny went live, and I thought it was just teething troubles, but that's a couple of weeks now.....

I'm using Goo and Firefox (12.0, Windows 7) but I haven't had these problems.

Logging it - sorry I've been slow on that.

I fear that problems in the old skins are probably not possible to fix, but at least it's logged.

Hiya, this isn't a bug as such, more of a "that's no longer working I'm afraid"
The urls to /MP# have been set to go to Pliny because rather weirdly they were telling search engines that the server was broken, even though it wasn't

I didn't get that, but I still get this "1 new post" thing, where the "new post" is my own - posted in some cases 15 or 20 minutes previously. So often my heart starts beating because I think someone has replied to my silly little post - only to go to the conversation and find I was the last one there. But I've reported that somewhere else.
Can you explain why Gosho gets the full goo skin whilst in Firefox and Windows like me? Is it the location of the server (me being in Germany, him in the States)

Oh and thanks for looking into it, Pastey. I know you've taken it seriously, being a goo-ey one, too.

Wow! 
Everything's gooey tonight! I had to check I hadn't opened IE by mistake. Thanks
