AI Thread Summary
Recent forum issues included small Facebook icons appearing in title bars, leading to concerns about potential hacking or poor integration. Users reported varying experiences, with some seeing the icons while others did not, depending on their browser and operating system. One user resolved their display issues by switching browsers and clearing cache in Pale Moon. The Facebook icon problem seemed to resolve itself for some users, but avatar display issues emerged for others. Clearing cache was suggested as a potential fix for similar display problems.

I don't know what's happening with the forum lately, but it appears like someone has been messing around with the forum scripts. I think someone is trying to hack or poorly integrate the Facebook feature into the forums, as I'm currently seeing tons of small Facebook icons in all the windows' title bars. It's very annoying! :frown:

I don't see anything like that. I'm using Firefox 12 under Mac OS 10.7.
 
I don't see anything.
 
Could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?
 
Screenshot+OS+browser.

Seems to be a problem at your end, I can see your avatar fine.

You are right. I have switched to Firefox 12.0. I'm using Windows XP SP3. Everything is OK now.

I was using Pale Moon 12.0 when i started having those display issues: http://www.palemoon.org/
It's a light-weight and optimized version of Firefox, but i don't know why it messes up the display. That rarely happens though.

Edit: As i prefer the faster Pale Moon, I've fixed it by clearing its Cache and Offline website data from the menu Tools > Clear Recent History. Just in case, this might be helpful to someone else with the same problem.
