Hi! I understand you're having trouble posting on MeWe and also can't change your environment settings on your desktop browser. Just to clarify a bit more—when you say "environment settings," are you referring to your profile settings, feed preferences, group settings, or something else? Also, is this happening on a particular browser or all browsers on your Windows 10 desktop?
Meanwhile, here are some basic steps we can try to resolve the posting and settings issues:
1. Clear your browser cache and cookies: Sometimes old cache data can interfere with site functionality. - In your desktop browser, go to Settings > Privacy > Clear browsing data (depending on your browser). - Clear cache and cookies for at least the past 7 days.
2. Update your browser to the latest version: Browser updates often fix compatibility issues.
3. Disable browser extensions temporarily: Sometimes extensions block site scripts needed for posting and settings.
4. Try using MeWe in a private/incognito browser window: This disables most extensions and uses a clean session.
5. Check your MeWe account status: - Ensure you are logged in with the right account. - Confirm you have posting permissions for the group or page you want to post in.
6. If you can open settings but cannot change the environment (like feed preferences or general account settings), make sure: - You have a stable internet connection. - No site scripts or content are blocked by your browser or security software.
If after these steps the problem remains, please let me know exactly what happens when you try to post (do you get an error message?) and what environment settings you want to change but can't. This will help me guide you further or explore advanced troubleshooting options.
Are you using any particular browser (like Chrome, Edge, Firefox) on your Windows 10 device? That info helps me tailor the next steps.
Looking forward to your details so I can get this sorted for you!
Thanks for the additional details! It definitely helps that you’re using both Edge and Chrome on your Windows 10 desktop and experiencing the same issue where your post attempts result in a black background, and you can’t change it.
Based on related known issues with black backgrounds showing up unexpectedly in browsers like Edge and Chrome, especially when posting or interacting with some websites, here are a few targeted things to try:
### 1. Check Your Windows 10 Color Mode Setting - Sometimes the entire Windows app mode (Light or Dark) affects how websites display backgrounds. - Go to Settings > Personalization > Colors - Find the setting called Choose your default app mode - If it's set to Dark, switch it to Light and then restart your browser and try posting again. This step fixed black background issues for others1.
### 2. Disable Hardware Acceleration in Browsers - Hardware acceleration can sometimes cause display glitches like black backgrounds. - In Chrome: - Go to Settings > System > Toggle off Use hardware acceleration when available - In Edge: - Go to Settings > System and performance > Toggle off Use hardware acceleration when available - Restart the browser after changing this setting8.
### 3. Check and Disable Conflicting Extensions - Disable any dark mode or theme-related browser extensions, as they can cause conflicts. - Particularly extensions like "Dark Reader" or other dark mode togglers. - After disabling, restart the browser and test posting on MeWe again6.
### 4. Try Incognito / Private Mode to Isolate Extensions - Since incognito mode disables most extensions by default, open MeWe in an Incognito window and see if you can post without the black background. - If it works there, it confirms an extension is causing this.
### 5. Clear Browser Flags Settings (Chrome specific) - Type chrome://flags in the address bar - Reset all flags to default by pressing the Reset all to default button - Relaunch the browser and test5.
---
If none of the above solve the issue, the next best step is to confirm whether your MeWe account has any posting restrictions or if there could be a temporary glitch on their servers, although that would likely affect their app too.
Could you please check your Windows app mode setting (step 1) and let me know if toggling it to Light mode changes the black background problem? Also, let me know if Incognito mode posting works.

Edge and Chrome - I try to post and nothing happens. The background is black and I can't change it. I have tried all your recommendations to no avail.
