bitcointalk.org forum pages now failing to load completely

[vk3ukf]

Hi,

the pages on this forum are now NOT loading fully.

This is very apparent if you use the latest firefox.

Symptoms.

1. The whirlygig keeps going around and around where the favicon should be displayed on the page tab at the top.

2. In the bottom left corner of the screen it is constantly displaying "Transferring data from bitcointalk.org..."

In my experience, this is caused by a nasty image file.

The nasty image file may be made by "MS Paint", "Paintshop" or an Adobe software.

It could be the background or one of the images used for the coloured bars on the page.

Someone will have to pull the page apart to a very simple form, check that it loads fully, displaying the favicon and start adding the rest of the page until it fails.

When the culprit image is found What I have done to fix them is merely open it with something like irfanview and resave it to a new name, rename it to the original and upload it.

It may also be a missing div or something missing in the header.

But, my bet is currently on the damaged image file somewhere.

They have fixed it.

Very quickly too.

Thank you.
