What has happened to GIMP CHAT images

GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: New User

Is it just me or has Erisian's avatar taken over the site - the images in threads seem to have been replaced by that avatar. Two screen snips attached, one from an Issa post in Mahvin's Guilloche thread and one of my own ... that is if they show correctly, because in my preview prior to submit, they were just Erisians avatar.

I noticed earlier. If you refresh the page, it should correct itself but something is clearly wrong with the site.

All part of my dastardly plan

I downloaded Erisians avatar. When I check it's properties on my linux box it has no size. Unusual for a png.

Also my uploaded image can be seen.
Erisian try removing the alpha channel from your avatar and replace?

Done.

It seems to effect only images hosted on this site and not images hosted on other sites and linked in. This site is not very secure anyway as it still uses http instead of https. My guess is someone playing games...

The site owner "Omega" did login earlier today, may be he did something.

As a test, I uploaded a compromised image to Imgur and put a link. Let's see what happens....

It's hit and miss. I went to the threads where I had seen it before and all images were displaying correctly but then I looked at a different thread and there it was.

OK it's done.

Something is clearly wrong with the uploading attachments.
I'll have to email Omega and hope he fixes,
whatever it is.

The images above are suppose to be the same.
If there not,
something isn't quite right.

I don't blame Erisian - it was just a matter of time before some newer graphics process compromised the 'elderly' GT.

Now when I save Erisan's avatar and open in Gimp I get this:

It's not just Erisian's avatar,
it's PNG and JPG images.
