View Full Version : Forum or me?

I'm getting an avatar/photo appearing in strange places. I recognise it but can' t put a name to it.
It is appearing particularly where someone has liked a post but it is the same avatar/personal photo each time. There is also a partial yellow car avatar which is appearing at the top of each thread and appears to be attaching itself to the thread tools and partially obscuring them.
Is it me or has the forum been "attacked"?

Bob, all appears normal here, both on my laptop and on my tablet.
Perhaps upload a screenshot?

OK now that's weird. Will pass it on to Steven. Most likely something at your end as all appears normal here.
What browser are you using?
Are you on a laptop, tablet, desktop, phone, ????
Windows, iThing, Android, ????
Any other information you can think of would help.
Has there been an update to your system or anything else that you can relate to the starting time of this problem?
When exactly do you recall this beginning?
Cheers - Neil :U

Started yesterday afternoon at approx 4pm. Have logged out and on, turned off and on, will clear history and cache when I finish this but probably won't get back on until this afternoon. From what you are saying it appears to be me. Don't know the how's or why's as I have not had this before in any situation.

Yep, it was me from the look of it. I thought it would be easier for you blokes if I could check and get back to you asap.
Cleared the history etc and rebooted the iPad and all now appears to be "normal".
Not sure if this is a permanent fix but should anyone else get this problem then it is a step in the right direction.
Thanks for the prompt replies.
Regards,
Bob

Looks like something stuck in a cache. :2tsup:

Good stuff, sounds like you had a partially loaded CSS file cached.

I also get this prob on my iPad as well, always happens after viewing a thread in the Marketplace. Clear cache, stay out of Marketplace and all is fine till I next visit the Marketplace.

I hear what you are saying but I have had no problems going to or from any part of the forum.
Everything appears to be OK on my iPad and I'm not sure what a CSS file that Steven mentioned is but clearing everything out and rebooting has fixed my problem. I don't use Tappatalk not sure if this could be a compatibility issue - I just prefer to use the "normal" setup.
I really appreciate the work done behind the scenes which keeps our forum going and the great sharing of ideas.

Somebody had this problem not long ago, flush your cache on your browser.

I know that Cliff, but as I mentioned in a previous post up there somewhere :aro-u: its a recurring prob. Shouldn't have to clear my cache all the time :no:

Did clearing the cache fix it?

This problem was a one off for me.
It has not returned and hopefully won't.

There is definitely something wrong with the Market Place page.
It stuffs up on my iPad daily. It's a long time since i looked at html but I suspect there is something wrong with the style sheet.

Here is another example of visiting the Market Place this morning.
All the images are in the wrong place.
Pat has Mapleman's avatar,.
Pat's avatar is shown in place of Image 2.
Image 2 is shown in the header thumbnail.
The header thumbnail is shown in place of the history gif.
This only occurs when you visit the Market Place on the iPad.

Happen to me this morning as well, took ages for the page to load as well.
Had to clear everything from my iPad.

Steven's looking at this one yet again. Could be related to the fixes put in to eradicate malicious file problems we were having.
For ipad users in the mean time try using the forums "Default Mobile Style" found in the drop-down menu bottom left side of all pages.
