This is truly annoying and makes reading the subject lines very difficult. Is there a way when using the "New Posts" link to turn this annoyance off so it only shows subject and not "Go to first new post" in front of the subject?

Thanks for any help.

Probably a feature I've never used, am not aware of, or just doesn't bother me at LQ.

Where are you accessing this link? Under the Quick Links menu up top? As part of a particular thread?

Or are you peeved at the organization direction of the posts? I long ago chose to view latest post up top in my thread views, this is a setting in your options.

I've not seen this before so I did some investigating and discovered that the little blue box with the chevron pops up your annoyance when you hover. I think the simple answer to your problem is not to hover over this chevron and you'll never see the annoying pop up.

I now find this is only on my CentOS 7 computer. On my laptop running Fedora this is not happening. Also on the CentOS 7 system (running latest Firefox) the editor here is completely messed up. Nothing works in it and all the "buttons" are plain text with no working features.

For reference I'm attaching a screenshot of listing new messages on the CentOS 7 with Firefox computer.

I have seen this sort of thing before. It is like the page has not completely loaded. Are you running any ad blockers or noscript?

I'm finding lots and lots of things broken on this site on the CentOS 7 with Firefox 45.1.1 computer. It's odd that every other site works fine except for this one. I'm pretty sure I just had a Firefox update on that machine and it's been happening since then. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no go.

So it seems it's either particular to my machine, the latest Firefox update or something else that updated at the same time. It's not this site, which works fine on every other computer I've used it on.

We'll see what happens on the next Firefox update.

I disabled adblock and noscript, no change. I don't run any other addons. Even with those 2 enabled on my Fedora computer, no problem. It's bizarre.

I've got Firefox 46.0.1 on my machine and don't see this problem. I suspect it's not "just" Firefox, but instead a combination of libraries which support it.

What else is broken? Are you able to load that particular image directly?

I see the same thing with CentOS 7 and a fresh Firefox 45.1.1 with no extensions. None of the button images are loaded -- you see the meta tags ("Unhappy", "Cool", "Exclamation", "Go to last post", etc.) in their place. Clicking on "Quick Links" in the banner does not yield a drop-down menu -- it replaces the items in the header. I can't find any preferences setting that seems to affect this behavior. Other web sites (e.g. www.foxnews.com) seem to work just fine.

In CentOS 6 OTOH, LQ works just fine in Firefox 45.1.1.

Exactly. Here's a couple more screenshots.

I can confirm that the default Firefox install on Cent OS 7 will not load SSL content from our CDN. Looking into it further now.

CentOS 7 now updated to Firefox 45.2.0 and no change. Same problem on this forum only.
