Thanks for your prompt response. I’ve discovered that, on a multi-boot test machine, the fade is normal when the OS is Windows 7, but not with Win 8.1 (same computer, IE11 on both OS).
I’ll try doing all “important” Windows updates on 8.1 and test again. If that doesn’t help, I’ll reinstall 8.1 or try on a different computer running IE11 under 8.1.
If still no go, I’ll try the CSS you suggested.
If you mean plugins when you ask about “extensions”, I have Contact Form 7 and the Virtue/Pinnacle Toolkit installed and activated. Akismet is there, but not activated.
