Imagine my surprise when I saw the figures shown below for guests present at the Communitty!! I thought there must be some really big story afoot....or had TH just won the lottery or what!!! 😃 The figures shown are by clicking two different pages...and apparently giving three very different results, rapidly decreasing :S
Anyway, could be something with browser graphics perhaps (Pale Moon) as I have been sometimes seeing a sort of pixellated graphics thing.
Any opinions on this please, very strange to see :S

Hello JimM, that's interesting, and thanks. Well I've noticed something else, even later last evening, when I returned to the forum to check couple of things, and despite having cookies disabled, few scripts enabled etc was very surprised to see my name there, as being logged in, despite having logged-out earlier etc :S
Logged in/out and it was then ok, but not quite sure yet...will keep an eye on things, but not to worry, obviously. There can't be too much going on. Hmm, bot traffic becoming visible...Thanks, Dermot :D

As I can't see the pictures Dermot how does the Forum look with IE? I assume it's Palemoon and the board software but JimM can confirm tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm seeing the three images blocked now (in IE10)...doesn't that mean then for everyone else the images are blocked (until unblocked by a mod when approved), but I'm able to see them immediately (in my Pale Moon set up)? Thanks, Dermot 😃
