What's with the giant icon to the right of my username?

I've been inactive here for a while and now I see this giant avatar-like picture to the right of my username and to the right of the usernames of several other users. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was just wondering.

Also, it seems like the forums look a little deformed now. The logo is missing on top and there's two little yellow page icons above and below this post. Screenshot:

 

I've never seen that - maybe something specific to your PC?

 

I have never seen this before here either. Did you clear your cache/cookies in your browser, restart it, and still see the same thing???

 

Yeah, it's a cache problem...you're probably using firefox.

Just clear everything as mentioned above.

 

I think this is also caused (stretching of images) when the page don't get properly loaded. [for you, DP header also didn't got loaded properly]. Just refresh and this should solve the problem, otherwise clear the cache.

 

Everything's fine now... was strange though. I'm using Opera.

 

weird lol
the online/offline icon is supposed to be there
