Yeah, on the Forums Index page, I constantly either have the "No New Replies" Chocobo picture or the "New Replies" Chocobo picture "X"ed out. Just now, the "New Replies" picture was Xed out, so I refreshed the page, and it switched. Anyone know why?
Weird...picture...messups...

ME TOO. Yay for not being the only one.
It's even more annoying due to the fact that when you right click on one of them and go "Show Picture", it works. Every time. Which means I have no idea what would make it not work, it's bloody confusing.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
This happens for me quite often too, but usually comes back pretty quickly. Maybe the little chocobos just like hiding sometimes
What do you mean by "Xed out"? You mean the picture isn't loading? Maybe server problems, connection timing out or something.
You know, where there's a white square with a red X in the corner. It always does it off and on for me, I actually had a little fun with it earlier. The New Replies was Xed, so I would refresh, then it would X out the No New Replies. I would refresh again, and both would be there. I was so bored I did that for about 20 minutes. It always went in the same pattern.
Same thing has been happening to me tooI thought it was Avant Browser.
Never happened to me. Doesn't Avant Browser use IE's rendering engine? Are the rest of you using IE? I wouldn't be surprised if IE was the problem.
I'm using SBCYahoo!'s Browser.
Which is as proprietary as IE, as far as I can tell
Maybe it's related to the server issues mentioned in the other thread.
If it were then more complaints would ensue. I blame other sources such as registry 'tweaks' which overload servers with too many connections, leading to a timeout, or the use of IE.
The solution is obviously to use Netscape Communicator.
*bump*
This is still happening to me, and it seems it only happens at EoFF... and very rarely does it happen with things such as smilies, which is odd considering there are so many of them. Most of the time it's forum icons (the chocobos) and thread icons (the folders). Usually it's only one of the icons. For example, only the threads containing new posts and without a dot, or something. It's really annoying.

I'll blame IE and all browsers that use IE to render now then - I've never seen this problem myself on any incarnation of mozilla or firefox I useMaybe you guys could try emptying your browser caches out too?
We've moved servers before you bumped the thread too, didn't we? And to a dedicated one at that.
I use Internet Explorer and it doesn't happen to me. I must be better at using it than you all.
It hasn't happened to me in awhile. Probably since I made this thread. Occassionally, nothing will display, but that's my connection (on my nifty 56K modem).
IE just takes different amounts of time to break on different peoples' systems, PG
