There's been some updates to the forums in general I imagine the fuzzy you see at first is software resizing the pictures to use less resources, wait a few seconds they clear up, at least they do on my devices.

Careful !
It looks like the reply option buttons have changed and maybe a couple of other things but I don't see any difference in the operational aspects of the forum which translates to me not having to learn anything new. I like that, not having to learn new things I mean.

They're all blurry here too. Waiting *any* amount of time does nothing and they remain blurry. There was a video linked and posted on the thread and its still shot (before 'starting' it) was clear.
Wondering if this isn't going to be one of those moronic 'you're not using the browser we want you to use for this site' BS. A *good* and *decent* site should be able to be seen and used by *ANY* browser. I can only hope this hasn't turned into 'one of those BS sites'.
Just as I thought...it *IS* the browser BS problem. I set my system to identify my browser as that **** 'Edge' on M$ Windows 10, and lo and behold, all the pictures were suddenly clear.
Set it back to identifying as my default browser and back to blurry.
This is done by ignorance and laziness, or on purpose possibly to get more 'paying' users, by the IT staff of any site that this happens on. How unfortunate.
