This is really weirding me out, but on the workstation im on right now, anytime I try to enter this thread, IE crashes hard.
Is there something funky about that guys Avatar? Is this a problem for anyone else?

Maybe I'm just paranoid :shock: but it's weird that that one thread crashes my browser without fail.
The avatar is 20,000x1 pixels and empty, so I'm gonna go remove it now. Tell me if it still happens in 5 minutes.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
The crash problem has been resolved since you removed the avatar.
Thanks Pheezer.
Strange.
Weird. It's not malicious PHP masquerading as a PNG, as the forum code should make it impossible for a PHP to return anything except image data, and at any rate, I can confirm it was an image that was being returned.
It was a 20,000 pixel wide image, but the forum code forces your browser to resize it automatically to the 64 pixel wide limit. I suspect IE 6 under Win98 can't handle the request to render a 20,000 pixel wide image to 64 pixels wide and it's crashing because of that.
