torrentthief Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Look at the username "Deihmos" in the screenshot below, as you can see it is messed up. This happens in both Firefox 24.4.0 ESR and Firefox 29 Beta 9. I'm not sure if this is a problem with neowin, IPB or a problem with firefox's rendering engine. Please try and fix this and if it is a firefox or IPB issue then file bug reports so they can fix it. Here is a link to the thread that this happens on: https://www.neowin.net/news/canonical-trying-to-lure-xp-users-with-the-release-of-ubuntu-1404-lts-for-desktop This has happened a lot on neowin recently so I thought I would report it. I have checked the page with Chrome and IE11 and it displays perfectly on those browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted April 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 21, 2014 This appears to happen when the image isn't present, yay that Firefox changed this behavior! afaik when I used Firefox ages ago, it just didn't display anything, now it seems to be showing the alt text. Here's how it looks in Chrome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted April 21, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted April 21, 2014 Looks like it isn't Firefox, but something to do with Deihmos's avatar. In Chrome the avatar in the news article just doesn't show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted April 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 21, 2014 Ah yeah, it's a gravatar.. (and displays properly in the forums) wonder if our comments doesn't support it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted April 21, 2014 MVC Share Posted April 21, 2014 If you look at source its clearly missing <img src="" alt="Deihmos avatar" /></a> So explains the alt text being shown.. Possible to just remove alt text from comments section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted April 21, 2014 Veteran Share Posted April 21, 2014 Should now be fixed. Max Norris 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Should now be fixed. Yep, was getting the borked image thing too with 28.0. Better now, just showing the text only instead of a placeholder with alttext when the image is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
