Offsite embedded images are now outlined to help users identify transparent/invisible tracking pixels. If you're wondering what's with some of the pictures.

That's my guess, anyway.

It's to prevent a decent amount of posters targeting the site using tracking images. I assume the emojis are just a bug.

Collect IP addresses, rough geolocation, and if you hit enough forums you can probably get some interesting analytics out of it.

Yes they are. It's obviously a browser OS specific issue, though. Win 7Pro and chrome on a City machine here. White boxes.

No boxes for me but about half of the pictures posted have a red outline. YouTube posts have the red outline and are about 50% size.

Any images/media from other than ar15.com will have the red outline. Smilies, avatars, etc are not effected. Live links to external sites are called out due to the number of tracking pixels that have appeared lately.

If you see a border around 'nothing' (transparent pixel), hit report, please.

some emoticons still are.
