An overabundance of SQUARES?

Just now, an odd bug has arrived:

When entering a thread, the usernames of the posters have been replaced by a sequence of squares!

Any others noticing this?

And now, "Gone in 60 seconds"..:confused:

What a weirdo bug..
 


Hey, who're you calling square?!

Are you bent, or what?

If not, you're square.
 


I've noticed over the past week, occasionally the title part of my browser window becomes a sequence of squares. Wonder if the problem is related.

FWIW, I'm using Firefox.
 


I'm using IE[/size][/color]
 


That can happen if you don't have the correct font (typeface) downloaded. I couldn't imagine why it would be happening on this website though...
