does anyone else experience this 'gray rectangle' problem?
it occurs only in this thread as far as I can tell.
looks like some chrome bug in relation to images.
I have a similar problem but the grey part is at the bottom instead of to the right. I use Fedora on Linux, but the problem only occurs in this forum.
The bug appared when the forum started using an image service (imgur) to store and "sanitize" images. It may have to do with the size of the file and the speed of the internet connection to the source where the image is uploaded from; basically there is an insufficient timeout somewhere along that path, and the file gets truncated. Reducing the image size usually helps. Try saving as JPEG format with quality 80 or less; it may get a bit fuzzy, but then you can wrap it in a link to the full version.
It is rumoured than, when the bitcoin price will reach 10'000 USD, the admins will be able to afford to hire a teenage programmer to fix this bug (and re-enable the uploading of avatars).
IT'S A LINUX BUG, mr Stolfi
Linux bug planted by the NSA
Lol, when it started for me that was exactly my first thought. "Oh noes, they're watching me!"
Then I realized that they've always been watching, and will always be watching, so I just changed a bunch of stuff, and now that issue is gone.
Not sure what fixed it, but haven't had that issue for at least the past few months now.
Best guess is some kind of caching issue or buffer getting filled, or whatever. I don't think it's necessarily server side as it doesn't happen with Firefox, as far as I know...
