Looks like some sort of site change has been made that screws up the avatar display. Prior to logging in this AM, the avatars where being displayed above the text and at the same width as the text, i.e., giant billboard sized avatars. The size returned to normal when I logged in, but some of the avatars were distorted and stretched. It only seems to be doing the giant avatars on mobile. Looks REALLY ridiculous on a tablet.
I just noticed that you can duplicate the giant avatar issue using a desktop browser prior to log-in. Just reduce the size of the window horizontally and it automatically shuffles the avatar on top of the text at the same width.
That's just bad coding. I could understand it if it only worked that way on a smartphone, but not on a full sized tablet or medium sized window on a laptop/desktop. It's obvious that there's still plenty of room for the avatar to remain on the side in either of those situations. There's no functional reason for the change.
Just tried to visit the forum on my work laptop. Win7 with IE10. The page layout is off, all avatars are stretched to 1230x1230, and the log in button doesn't do anything when clicked. However Firefox works just fine.
