Forum graphics look strange

Hi
I'm using Firefox on Linux. It's quite possible that my browser is at fault here and not the site.

The site's small graphic items (e.g. smilies, new-post indicators, button borders) look different than they used to, and definitely not in a good way. The new-post indicators in the list of posts flicker in an irritating way instead of flashing, and they and all the other above-mentioned items look very rough around the edges, especially noticeable in the curved parts - as if (pardon my lack of technical knowledge) some graphics smoothing routine was turned off - all the round smilies for instance have four corners and irregular shapes.

I am not having this problem on any other sites, but then I don't think I visit phpBB boards often, except for (obviously) this one. :)

No problem with my graphics (XP, Opera, gif animation turned off).

NTS: Site-specific issue is strange. FF just released an update to the Windows platform. I don't know if there's a Linux release. Then there's always the virus check. That's all I've got.

KAV: I use Comodo as my primary AV/Firewall and also run Spybot and Glary Utilities once a week or so. AVG is also good. All within my budget (free).

OK, I've checked and everything looks normal in Opera.

I don't know what I've done wrong, but I guess I'll find out later.

Hmph. Sorry guys.

Part of the problem was I had a non-standard zoom level accidentally set for some (or all?) pages. When I revert the zoom to normal, all the curved graphics look fine again. I'll look into the disordered flashing another day.

Nope. Somebody (me) just be needin' to grab a brain. :)
The zoom was set at maybe plus five percent, probably by an accidental keypress.
