Title: Avatar hack?
Post by: ronswanson77 on March 25, 2013, 02:28 pm
Anyone else getting multiple red and white "Che" avatars popping up above people's avatars or is it just me?  I'm seeing them on everyone's posts right now.

So I realized the "che" image I'm seeing is replacing the stars over people's avatars, instead of the stars you would normally see for 'Newbie', 'Jr Member' etc.  Is this happening to anyone else or do I have a virus or something?  It just started today.

Yes, but I have a different graphic. It's a caching problem of your browser I believe. I looked into it by doing the following:

1) Right click the "stuck" graphic, chose "Copy image location" - should give you dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/Themes/default/images/star.gif ?
2) paste that URL into a new window. Is it the stuck image still? Or the yellow "star" (more like a square)?
3) refresh that window. Did it refresh to the star? Mine did, and the forum don't have the stuck image anymore.

That fixed it!  Thank you!

the forum is a tad glitchy for me as well.
