Outsized display of threads

Past several days, when I click on a thread I sometimes get a screen with the yellow caution bell displayed huge. Posts in the thread require scrolling to get to the first one and are also so large as to exceed the margins of the display. Is this my system or the Forum?

I have seen that too on occasion and no idea what is causing it. Try clearing your browser cache and log back in and see if it persists. I know the actual image is larger in size but the "Tips" software is supposed to re-size it. It sounds like that re-sizing isn't happening.

By the way, is this happening for you on a PC, iMac or some smart device (iPhone, Android, iPad)?

I just resized the bell so that the true size is much smaller. Hopefully if it does show up bigger it won't be as big as it was. For some reason, they actual size of that bell was much bigger than it appears in the Tips box and it's supposed to get re-sized. This is what the bell looks like in reality (except I have resized it to be much smaller)

I don't know of any changes. I will check with my IT dept. No big deal. Mostly curious if it was my end or the forum. I'll log in on something other than Google and see if it shows up.

I have seen what you're talking about but not sure what caused it. I found that clearing the cache and restarting the browser seemed to fix it. Hasn't happened in a long time. Let me kow if trying a different browser helps.

I tried Edge on eight threads and didn't get the big bell. Must be a temporary glitch in Google. 2:00 AM, you should get some sleep.
