Am I the only one who's seeing the Pleasure To Kill cover underlapping under some users' avatars including my own?

EDIT: like this

I see the UK Thrash logo at the top smaller in threads. It just gets reduced for some reason...

I bet they both use some hilariously outdated version of IE. Talk about shittest of the shit. Oh, wait......

Seems like a weird problem, give us a few more details (browser, screen resolution, what drugs you've been taking ;)) and I'll have a look. Not seen any problems with the latest versions of Firefox, IE (7 and 8 Beta), Safari, Chrome or Opera.

The header image problem is something I know about and I'm trying to work around it, it's basically to do with the image resize script, it resizes everything on the page that's over 500px wide. Including the header.

Doesn't seem to be doing it now. My laptop might have been spazzing out

I don't use a browser, i just see the internet.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

shouldn't that be

Code: Select all
var im = document.getElementsByTagName('img')[i];


in the image resize code?. I'm not sure that fixes the problem but the rest of the code looks sane. I can't get firebug to reliably stop on the code to step through it though.

It's not actually a bug in the code itself. The problem is that the JavaScript automatically pulls all <img> XHTML tags on the page, and resizes them if they're over 500px wide. I'm not entirely sure why it does it on thread views and not on the main forum or board view.

One way I was thinking about getting around it is adding an "id" attribute to the header, and then adding an if statement so that the code only steps into the resize script if the image it's testing doesn't have the header ID. Not being much of a JavaScript programmer (I'm more PHP, hate JS with a passion) I'm relying on Google at the moment.

hang on. There are two resize functions on the viewtopic pages:

function resizeall() (near the top of the HTML, it does check for id='head_img')
function resizeimg() (near the bottom of the HTML, resizes all images)

resizeimg() only appear in the viewtopic pages.

I think that's the bug... how you fix it I have no idea :) Hope that helps.
