Seems to be a problem with your first post... it says WING

This post I replied to has the wing and says nothing.

I never said all the posts have the problem.

YES YOU DID!

Um, I didn't say you said anything... I'm making an observation.

I'd hazard a guess at it being down to you having a crappy internet service or you're using up all your bandwidth with games, porn, streaming music, etc...

Clearing the cache might sort it out...

i have seen this problem with my FF too and not just on this site.

the image appears if you roll over the image/word, so I dont think it is a caching issue.

just a problem with FF - none of my other browsers (I use about 5 for web-development and testing) have the problem.

This has happened to me a few isolated times on various sites.

Like Daemon said, spotty Internet connections are the probable culprit, especially 3G modems and dial-up.
Hard refresh CTRL+F5 usually sorts it out.

Keeping your Internet cache clear is just a good habit... and might also sort out the problem. Sometimes.

Actually, it's started happening to me today as well. Just on RHP, in both IE and Firefox but only the first instance of the image on the page.

Hard refreshing does fix it but it usually re-occurs when I change page.

On the my games page, the first game seems to always 'wing' written where there should be a wing.
i.e. http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s276/Bad_wolf_01/wing2.png

edit: and when I posted this, the wing problem is on the right now on this post.

And on for example the sticky thread game sometimes it loo ...[text shortened]... it would be like that, if anyone else is having the problem, and what you could do to fix it?

Maybe Russ decided to "clip your wings." 😛
I got nothing 😞
