Google Chrome: a "boxy" problem at the homepage.

Ever since the change made in 2009 to the site, I've seen a small white box over the top-left corner of the flash animation on the main page. I think all Chrome users see it (at least, I've seen it in different machines using Chrome).
As I just re-engaged with the game (P), I decided I had to help you fix this.
So, not ideal, but at least an easy way to solve it:

-At the eve_main.css file,
-Add the following attribute to the #content style (line 85):
overflow: hidden;

That would hide the white box (only a dot will be visible, but I just can't seem to find where that box comes from).
Cheers.

Ehm, no I don't see it.

For the record, I see it in Chrome/Windows.
Looks like this: Little white box.
The fix doesn't do any damage to other browsers, afaik.

That's the magic box. You don't want to hide that! Shocked





But more serious, see it too under Chrome/ Mac.

If CCP web dev bothers to touch the CSS, fix the post preview and hide the quote-like box and small text. It takes 30 seconds to do, I did it myself with the chrome console.

BTW: this looks like a badly implemented webbug or beacon (by ru4.com, probably?)
If you have a script blocker, it dissapears.

Confirming I see it too

Clicking it seems to refresh the page.

Umm ... using Opera on Win XP, the main page hangs while it loads up the main banner / flash advert. Maybe they are related as it is the same area?

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

I see a white dot in Opera/Win Vista.

But I confirm this is because of the webbug/iframe put by doubleclick.net. If you erase the iframe node using Chrome's dev tools, it dissappears, so it's not a CCP problem, though CCP can fix it by adding the CSS line provided.
