Has anyone else been getting this error in Chrome when trying to view certain threads?

*EDIT: I'm too lazy to resize it, but all the relevant stuff fits in the thread.

Nope. Just tried it. I always use the steam-powered version of Google.

I posted about this this morning, nice to see people check other areas of the forums.... viewtopic.php?f=9&t=20734

It appears to be from a cirtian user, once they post in a area the message appears from chrome. it is either something in their signature or their avatar as the same thing appears when on their profile (only sheared elements that i can think of).

It's Nexus's avatar.

Damn, is my avatar really causing trouble for all of you? If so, I'll change it in the near future (I'm at work right now and can't really do it, but will try to remember once home).

Yup, it's on the same domain. Also, as soon as you posted here, I had the same trouble viewing this thread.

Well, I deleted the av. The way I've chosen an avatar for any message board is simply by googling images, and finding the appropriate size. However, I'm doing that now, and every pic I try to use this site says I can't. Looks like I'm avatarless :cry:

Well eariler today the one you had was ok for me, i can only guess that you changed it this morning hence is why i am not getting the warning now.

You can also always save the image to your computer and use that as your avatar on here, then it will not try to connect to the site to get your avatar as it will be hosted here instead. This also allowes you to resize the image to something better if the original is not ok.

Heh, I turns out I am pretty computer illiterate. I just pasted the jpeg in the other field (link off-site) and that seems to have worked.

And being as unsavvy with computers as I am, I am unable to resize my own images.

Well, if you ever find something that is horribly out of propotion, message me and ill see what i can do.

But apart from that in the way of saving the image to your computer and then using the saved image as your avatar, it should be easiernough to do and will solve all of the issues.
