As above, when I view Boomers posts on the PC they are fine but on the iPhone they are huge!

SOPA is bad news indeed but we should be much more concerned about ACTA.

This is what i see on my standard laptop running normal windows, maybe boomer could delete his avatar and re-instate with a different since from a different source ?

I've removed the offending images from Boomers signature and dropped him a PM.

Can you let me know if this has resolved it?

I guess it looked quite severe when you could actually see it in a video

There is obviously something wrong with the settings on your laptop since nobody else has a problem with it.

Sorry guys, I've had some problems with my GTR1000.COM domain the last few days as it expired on the 24th Jan even though I never received a renewal notice. Seems the Domain Registry f***ed up. ;-)
As for the SOPA thing, it may have been picked up off the "parking" website that replaced mine when the domain expired.
My domain should be back to normal now as I've renewed it.

Thanks Asif. I'll take a look at my sig and see if I can add back my pics,... or not.  ;D

Ah, that would explain it somewhat.

Some of you might still see the issue for the next 48 hrs (that's the maximum time interval it takes for a DNS record to propagate). Normally its much faster.
