the current one of Jeffrey Rose....It looks like there are embedded or pinned pix and line arrows attached to it. clik on them & they go bonkers...it acts wierd like it may be a 'worm virus' !
Maybe i'm wrong.....i just am very leery of things like this.
jack.....
Those are actually the avatars of the creators of the posts running down the right side of the home page. I also see them this way when viewing on my iPad. The image is narrower with my windows basest web browser and does have the overlap.
Correct.
Yep, Jack is right!
Click on the icons and all kinds of weird stuff comes up!

Exactly. Every picture that has been up there over the last few months has looked like that on my iPad.
It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
It isn't a virus or otherwise nefarious. Basically it happens when the picture is wider than the content area. The page is split in 3 panes with the left and right ones being fixed width but the middle pane taking up the remaining space. When the center space is smaller than 580 pixels there isn't enough room to show the full picture.

The .fullwidth css rule sets the content to "position: relative;" which causes the image to "float" over the recent posts panel. Since the avatar images have a "position: static;" set they appear to float over the main image, giving that weird corruption looking effect.
Removing the "position: relative;" from the .fullwidth rule fixes the issue (but has the image cut off if there isn't enough room to display it, but might be an acceptable quick fix.

Yes, JE, this is what is happening. Jax is joshing you, because the links on the right are just to recent posts.

A quick fix is to make that picture skinny.... so I've just reduced it to 500 pixels.. which was the 'rule' and will be until the new software/forum upgrade... coming one of these days.... which has to wait... Tommy and I are both out diving tomorrow thru the weekend... sorry
