"Spam Poison" footer image not loading?

[prevariikation]

When browsing the forums using HTTPS, there's an image in the footer that uses HTTP and won't load over HTTPS, meaning the loading icon never goes away in the tab bar which is pretty visually distracting Is there a way to fix this?

In the HTML:

  Code:

<div id="page-footer">
            [...]
            <a href=""><img style="padding-left: 1px" src="http://pics8.inxhost.com/images/sticker.gif" width="80" height="15" border="0"></a>
</div>


I'm not sure what the purpose of the image is exactly, since it's only surrounded by a link tag that doesn't link to anything.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have removed the code. This appears to be some old anti spammer/website crawler tactic.

Thank you very much! I can see the change already and it's great :)
