I accidentally changed the appearance on a website and cannot change it back.
I was browsing a website (4chan.org) and my cat walked across the keyboard. For a brief second a box popped up in the bottom right corner of the screen. The box had several option bubbles and some of them changed before the box disappeared. The website now only displays in a very basic format. The background is off-white, the text is black, all of the links are blue, and a majority of the features no longer work. I have not been able to figure out how to revert the settings and browsing is now next to impossible. The changes have only affected the one site and all other sites run normally. How can I fix this?

Hold down the Alt key and press V. Open the Page Style menu and select Basic Page Style. If there are multiple options, pick something other than No Style.
If the problem persists, see the following article.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.
