There are small facebook icons in all the title bars

  • Bug
  • Thread starter DryRun

In summary, there seems to be a problem with the forum scripts that has caused issues with the display of Facebook icons and avatars. This has been resolved by switching to a different browser and clearing the cache and offline data. It's recommended to use Firefox 12 or a lightweight version like Pale Moon for optimal performance.

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.

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.
