When I visit the Harvard Business Review blog (see URL below) the text on a blog post appears momentarily and then the body text gets converted to white (or transparent) on a white background so all I can read is the headings (they are in bold text). If I pass the cursor over the invisible text whlst holding down the left mouse button the invisible text is highlighted in grey (but still no visible text). If I copy (CTRL-C) the selected text and paste it (CTRL-V) to a Word document the text is all there. It would be nice to be able to read the text in-situ without the cut and paste operation. Searched the forums using various forms of question key words but couldn't find an answer.
