does anyone else experience this 'gray rectangle' problem?

it occurs only in this thread as far as I can tell.
looks like some chrome bug in relation to images.

I have a similar problem but the grey part is at the bottom instead of to the right.  I use Fedora on Linux, but the problem only occurs in this forum.  

The bug appared when the forum started using an image service (imgur) to store and "sanitize" images.  It may have to do with the size of the file and the speed of the internet connection to the source where the image is uploaded from; basically there is an insufficient timeout somewhere along that path, and the file gets truncated.  Reducing the image size usually helps.  Try saving as JPEG format with quality 80 or less; it may get a bit fuzzy, but then you can wrap it in a link to the full version.

It is rumoured than, when the bitcoin price will reach 10'000 USD, the admins will be able to afford to hire a teenage programmer to fix this bug (and re-enable the uploading of avatars).

IT'S A LINUX BUG, mr Stolfi

Linux bug planted by the NSA Wink

More specifically a Chrome on Linux OS bug, no sign of it on Windows. It's also not just missing parts of the image, it's also blocking text content and they move.

But only bitcoiners experience this problem. Oh, and trolls.

Easy fix is to ignore NotLambchop.

EDIT: Hmmm, now I'm having doubts, perhaps it's only a Chrome bug and I just didn't experience it anymore because I ignored NotLambchop.
Either way there's an easy fix.

I was experiencing this too some weeks ago. Now i dont. Chrome on Ubuntu btw...
