More weirdness: Most users ever online was 236 on Jun 4 2005, 04:40 PM

236 users.. sounds like a bit much. It used to be like 25. And June 4 wasn't that busy was it?

Most of them are of Guest status.

This has happened before... There was at one point in time some pirated software on this server for a certain gaming community. Consequentally, a link was placed on a different forum to one of UTI's subdomains. Someone may have bumped that thread (again), but it would be appropriate to check just to make sure that nothing else is going on.

@koolmansam375

I strongly suggest that you save large images into a different
format, or at least crop/resize them. By looking at the change
in file size, you'll see my point—Bitmaps are seriously bloated.

2 & 3: Smiley image was replaced with 'Card' but same file name. both posts ended in Smile

's
4: Same deal.

All I can tell you is I am not having any problems like you are. Must be your end.

BTW, I am using FireFox 1.04

Ditto... and I'm on XP too. Try re-installing FF.

P.S. Shouldn't this be on Computer Tech :biggrin:

I haven't seen those either, but this thread comes up like this is that weird or what?

I have winXP and Firefox 1.0.4, to enlighten the non-believers Very Happy

Hey, that's me! So what is the weirdness, I'm not seeing it...

look at the picture (click "this" in my previous post), do you see something missing?

HAHAHAHAHA!!! I find it utterly ironic!

I can say with certainty that the lower of the UTI Weirdness
entries is a fake—The words are one pixel too high. Oops! 8)

Even if the forum could screw up in the manner you are suggesting,
the browser definitely wouldn't misinterpret the stylesheet like this.

now it looks like this. My resolution is 1280 x 800, on XP with Mozilla enlargened. I
1- Whent to uti homepage
2- Print Screened
3- Copied into paint, moved image to topright corner, then croped off lower left junk.
4- Saved as ironic2.jpeg
5- Uploaded to www.imageshack.us
6- put it on this post

I will send you /give u any information you need if you still don't believe me, including the page source.

[EDIT]
Oh yes, and I figured out WHY it's doing this, but I won't reveal it here :ninja:. Want to know? PM me.

[EDIT #2]
Ok, a coupla more things. First of all, it appears you are correct and that it is 1 pixel to low. This is odd, I don't know what is causing this. Maybe firefox wasn't all the way maximized. Second of all, if you want i think there is a thing in XP wher another person can view your screen over the internet. Perhaps we could do this, and you could watch as i entered mozilla and went to unitedti.org?

[EDIT #3 lol]
One last thing, try using http://www.lloydkirk.unitedti.org/ 's dirty mozilla hack, see if that is doing ti.

At this point you have me convinced—No further evidence is required. Laughing

I would like to try something, however... I think I may be able to reproduce this glitch.

What mozilla hack?

Hmm, the Latest Topic Replies section doesn't seem to be cookie-related (at least not on the user's side). Some other elements obviously are, though; for instance, if one's personal block gets messed up, a quick fix would be to delete the appropriate section in the text file contained within the local directories, or perhaps just nuke file itself. That does requires you to log back into your account afterwards, but that shouldn't be a big deal—The file is automatically created anew.

The referenced "Mozilla hack" is played out here, which you should recall.
