What's with the picture?

 if you live in the US my guess would be that it's because you've got an election coming in nov and he's one of the contestants :)

if you're not from US I don't know though..
I never get his picture anywhere on this forum (or any add that's not cakewalk, for that matter)

Sometimes when I click on a thread and the page opens, there's a picture of Mitt Romney at the top of the page.  

How frightening is that! Probably from his Super-PAC. 

Those in the US will know that the pre-election chatter is positioning Obama v Romney as Communist v Fascist (meaning Republicans call Obama a Communist and Democrats call Romney a Fascist).  We are having a class war over here.  Insane and hilarious since the US President has very limited control over the economy.

Check your browser, clear the cache.

you have to load it to a site like photobucket and then use the icon to the left of the smiley face to paste the link.... then the pic will show up.

If you are fer reel: your computer is compromised.

But maybe its a new app. And you can configure it to a slide-show of GOP empty vessels.

that is not happening here.....

Mitt's already got North Carolina sewed up. Probably not popping up in SC nor Mississippi either. Out here on the Left Coast they'd be doing it just to annoy us.

That is UGLY,it's a little bit[rhymes with]like this clairvoyant "Zora" spam,that keeps turning up in my email.

Maybe this is some kind of browser hack, like a few months ago when something was replacing all photos with photos of cats (or did I dream that). 

  Most likely not a virus, but possibly spyware or simply bad cache in your browser. As RAIN mentioned above, clear out the cache and that should go away.

  OK, good point - well, clearing internet cache is difficult to describe cause the terms are a little different and the location is slightly different depending on which browser you use. But in general, there is an "internet tools" sort of function that you pull down and select to clear browsing history. in my FF, for instance, I pull down "Tools", select "options", and go to the "privacy" tab, and click "Clear all current history". Now in the newer IE versions, they;'ve tried to integrate the function more, but pull down: Tools, select Internet options, go to the Advanced tab, scroll clear down until you see "Security", and CHECK THE BOX that says Empty Temporary internet Files when browser is closed. That way every time you close the browser, it's clearing out your cache. Hope this helps. :-)

Thanks for all the input.  I cleared the cache in my browser (Chrome) as suggested by Rain and JD1813.  So far, so good.  Willard will not be missed.
