Here is a recent screenshot of MPSIMS taken from my PC:
What the heck?
I restarted my computer and I still get the same thing. It doesn’t happen all the time. It seems to just be limited to IMHO and MPSIMS.
Anyone know what might be going on?
Which version of which browser are you using, and when did this happen?
I’m not sure what casues this problem, but I’ve had it happen in Firefox before (is that the browser you are using?)
It has something to do with the images the browser is reading. The particular thread in your screen shot that has the funny image is a locked thread. The browser is trying to display the image for locked threads (thread_lock.gif). For some reason, Firefox is substituting another image for the one located on the board’s server.
My problem was solved by rebooting, so I don’t know why your issue wasn’t solved when you rebooted.
I realize that’s not much help in solving your problem, but that’s all I know about the issue.
I just realized that the three stickies at the top of your screen shot are also locked threads, yet they are displaying the appropriate icon (thread_lock.gif). So that throws a minor wrench in my theory.
I’m going to slink away now.
Dunno why. You could try clearing your browser’s disk cache, which a reboot won’t touch.
You were close, milquetoast. It’s locked threads that also have new replies. I am using Firefox (2.0.0.1,) and I’ll clear the cache and see if that helps.
Try pushing and holding the Ctrl key and moving the scroll wheel on your mouse.
On my computer (Using Opera) this increases or decreases the font size.
Nice catch on the distinction between threads, bouv. Did clearing the cache help?
