Well, I was still clicking "Open in a New Window" for quotes at least half the time out of habit, anyway. Looks like I don't have to break that habit now.

I have yet to see this thing.  It's the Bigfoot of APS.

We did a clean install, again. Site doesn't look compromised. What browser and OS are you using? 

I'm talking to the hosting company about migrating us to SMF 2.x. With my limited access, it didn't go through the last time I tried. So we're up to date with the latest SMF 1.x software.

SMF File   Your Version   Current Version
SMF Package   SMF 1.1.21   SMF 1.1.21
Sources   1.1.20   1.1.20
Default Templates   1.1.21   1.1.21
Language Files   1.1.21   1.1.21

You too? I figure I must be doing something wrong (or right) to have never had this issue.

Same. I've never seen it in any browser.

Same thing I've been using for the last 4 years at the office...

Chrome 60.031 and Windows 7 Enterprise.

Standard desktop loadout here at the office.

Also happens with Intardnut Exploder.

I absolutely don't doubt people are seeing it. I just find the randomness bizarre.

So is the random disappearance of avatars. These days,for example, I see avatars in this thread for Ben, 230RN, P12 and HeroHog ... but RevDisk, Mike Irwin and Dogmush are avatar-less. And my avatar doesn't show up.

I'm actually avatar-less.  I haven't put a new one up after the photobucket thing.

Oh crapola, it is back.  For the last week or two I would get the GBoL for just a few seconds, then the quote function would work.  Now it's back in all of its colorful goodness.

Dumb question.

Could the randomness be explainable by the varying software at the ISP level?

Told you it was a dumb question, but if all other explanations fail, examine your premises.

There must be software from different sources available to ISPs, no?  Maybe one "brand" interacts with SMF in certain circumstances to generate the problem: It loads the quote bar, then stops that process from the quote button, but not from the right-click, open in new tab process.

(https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3e/ec/03/3eec037b551c16db0e2b3f1df1ec5ec2--cartoons-comics.jpg)

At least that would be an explanation as to why one lucky person and not another, and why some browsers and not others.

I'm not signing this one so nobody knows who the clown is.

As an IT professional, I have to ask, have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Mine lives on my server and isn't hosted by some service and that is probably the difference.

Holy crap, Herohog!

I've been looking for that for YEARS!

I first saw it back around 2005. I e-mailed it to some coworkers and it really touched a nerve because we were rolling out a new website for our division and it was about as frustrating as anything ever could have been!

Saved that one to my desktop! It's my precious!

Yer welcome Mike. I have a library of crap I find funny, snarky, useful that I have built over the years. Seeing as I have been on the internet since the early 80's, that encompasses a lot of crap!

I tried uploading it to Faceplace.

It told me that I couldn't because it wasn't 120 pixels tall.

So, I had to put it into an online .gif editor. When I did that and saved it as a slightly larger format, it ceased to function.

So, I had to run it through the editor again, enlarge it, and save it as an MP4.

Then I could upload it to Faceplace.

I already solved the problem.

And the resolution on that one got... weird. It looks like it's printed on high-quality laid texture paper, the kind you'd put wedding invitations on.
