The sidebar was not updated to the current Foto Friday which is why it went to the previous week. I've fixed this. Also, for your linking pleasure here is the current Photo Friday and it works fine.

Define screwy.

Recently, in very long posts (mostly ones with lots of images, but also in posts with lots of text), Firefox will freeze at a certain point. For me, at least. Works okay in IE.

Anyone getting the same behaviour with Firefox 2?

You're telling me to upgrade, right? Will do it soon.

Hang on a couple of hours before you upgrade, mudpuppie - 2.0 is due for release today. If you go to the main site *now*, it's still offering up 1.5.0.7 for download or RC3 if you dig around a bit. I downloaded a beta ages ago and today, under "about" my browser says its the official 2.0 version.

*on checking further*

The Register says the demand was so high, the 2.0 release slipped out yesterday. Servers were in meltdown, but you may be able to get it here:

Well, the photo looks fine for the first half (roughly) and then it's just infinite slices of the next couple of pixels worth, over and over.

It works fine in IE (sorry, I didn't think to check). Yes, I'm using Mozilla. (I installed FF 2.0 at work today, but I didn't get a chance to try the thread).

I've actually seen that slicing webpage behaviour before. Switch off smooth scrolling if you've got it, and clear out the cache.

As the image is becoming corrupted, I don't think it's a problem with the website. Although metachat does seem to stress browsers more than it rightfully should.

So..what's the theme for this week? Anyone know?

There's a lot of wonkiness going on with Firefox and phantom scrollbars ever since the fundraiser day, when there were 3 sticky posts. Ever since then, I usually read MetaChat with IE. It's only MetaChat, no other site. But that's the day the wonky started.

I too get phantom scrollbars. Reloading usually gets rid of them. I cleared the cache and the thread looked fine. Until that exact same picture loaded, and then, well, then came the sliciness. Again.

I'm happy to help test fixes for it. XP, Mozilla 1.7.12. (I have a few other browsers installed too, but I don't use them for surfing). I'm GTM +10. I often stay up late and I often work from home.

P.S. BTW, as with MeFi, I'm happy to tolerate all kinds of problems for the goodness that results. I'm not complaining at all. I just thought you ought to know.

Yeah, that's the same problem I'm having in really long or photo-heavy threads. I don't think it's the image, seanyboy -- I think it's the site. It only just started, and it's happened in numerous threads. Can't be that many corrupt images that people happen to be uploading all of the sudden.

And what GeckoDundee said -- it's tolerable, since there's a workaround. Just making sure you know about it.
