I noticed that several members including myself have some strange characters to the right of my forum name. What is it??

What skin are you using on the forum? It is probably something I messed up in editing the skin. Also let me know what browser you are using.
 
Not sure what skin. It is a white background with a couple shades of blue in the horizontal lines. Using IE.
 
See it on the following members (not all, just some examples).

That's because I'm special and we all know Mark is "special" :clapping:

That's VBblue... Try Vmax Dark... Bottom left hand side of screen...
 
This is also next to my forum name. IE7. Skin is the blue/grey one, not the black one. In looking at the source that is being sent to the browser, we see:
<td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?u=1480"><img src="image.php?u=1480&amp;dateline=1212685885" width="59" height="65" alt="XSiveMaximus's Avatar" border="0" /></a></td>

My guess is that it is the single quote (') character in (alt=) portion of the above string that is causing the problem, since the browser can interpret the HTML tags that use the double quote and also single quote characters. Thus the browser thinks the image tag attribute "alt" is closed at the single quote location of the string?

I would modify the PHP to create the alt attribute to say, "Avatar of XSiveMaximus" instead of "XSiveMaximus's Avatar" .
 
The problem would only appear in the vbblue skin and only when you are on line. I had modified a common language script that I embedded a graphic in, but only for the VMax Dark skin. The vbblue skin saw it and placed it in the alt parameter because it couldn't find the graphic. Any ways it is now fixed! :eusa_dance:
