apolyton hacked?
has apolyton been hacked or has my browser gone crazy?

i got this strange picture when looking at a thread

look at the flag of cloutier02

after reloading it was fine again (his canadian flag is back)
my system: win2k pro, using mozilla 1.3b

anyone else experienced similar things?

I doubt the fair people of civ.org.pl would hack Poly to get visitors... probably a file got jumbled up, probably by your browser. However, if you haven't visited civ.org.pl , then it might be some sort of mishap... maybe that's a CivGroup icon or somesuch that got mixed up with the Canadian flag for a second?

Most likely a browser-fart.
Especially considering LoD had that exact image as his avatar.

Although it is possible to force the flag to display that image. Not that I would do such a thing.
Its not my fault!

actually looking at amesjustin's "flag", it really looks like a browser bug

case closed, bugzilla has a new case

Yeah, it seems to be a browser bug since both flags in that picture are weird images ... and nobody else has reported anything weird happening today.

No one accused you.......I think you obviously have a guilty conscience. You have the skills and are a known trouble-maker.

Skanky's fault. Case closed.

How exactly would a browser error like this occur?

In the first screenshot Civ.org.pl is in the place wehre your flag goes, in the second screenshot it's just an avatar.

And sabrewolf was slow in figuring that out.

ACK!
