    Forum image weirdness

    Over the last few days I've noticed that people's avatars have started replacing standard VB forum images (eg. smilies, post icons)


    While reading a thread


    Composing a message

    Is this a problem on my end? It gets quite scary sometimes having a giant panda in the middle of random posts

    If you load the image URL into your browser, it still isn't right, but if you refresh, it reverts back to the correct image.

    Tried clearing the cache?

    I had that before with FF, but a clearing of cache and a refresh usually clears it, no idea why it does it though..

    Mine does this all the time in FF, I'll just have a random huge avatar instead of the online/offline indicator etc.

    Most odd.

    I had the problem where I had the ": D" smiley as the background image for the quick reply box at the bottom of each post, on clearing the cache next time it came back it was background for the whole thread, major headache looking at that!

    Can we post some ISPs and browsers? May help identify the problem

    Zen ADSL
    Firefox 1.5
