I can't figure out what's going on here. It is probably some stupid setting but nothing I try seems to help. The problem only occurs with Chrome (latest version) on my laptop while viewing Geekzone. Suddenly today, for no apparent reason, portions of certain Geekzone pages would only display in black, making some parts unreadable and other parts disturbing to look at. The effect only occurred on my laptop using the Chrome browser on Geekzone. It did not happen with other browsers or other computers or other web sites.

 

I fiddled around for awhile and uninstalled Edge, which I had been planning to do anyway. Suddenly the problem disappeared. The display seemed normal again. But a little later I discovered that no avatars are displaying. Everything else seems normal, text, icons, pictures, images, just no avatars. The spaces are all blank. If I copy one and paste it elsewhere, it appears normally.

 

Can anyone help me with this? It is driving me crazy.

 

Edit: At least some images pasted in posts are also not showing. YouTube videos are normal.

Hmmm.... I have seen a vageuely similar issue in the past that was caused by video drivers.  Multiple web sites were affected, and a video driver update fixed it.

 

If you have time up your sleeve, try going into Chrome settings and search for hardware - toggle the hardware acceleration on or off, relaunch, and see if it makes any sort of difference.
