User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.5

While using the fusetalk forums, if i have it set to display 100 messages per
page,  firefox will only display the first 45 messages that contain pictures
then after that, the rest of the page is covered by a black bar. 

I have tried   loading this page on multiple computers and they all have the
same problem

here is a screenshot of the problem:

and below, here is a recorded video of the problem

(if the video is still in  windows media format, it may take some time to load
as it is 25MB in size and at 1024x768 res)

to test out this problem for your self, you will need a g4 account  which will
allow you to use the features such as 100 messages per page.

Actual Results:  
only the first 45 messages were shown   and the rest of the page was   black
(all other web browsers that I have tried did not have this problem)

Expected Results:  
it should have displayed all 100 messages    just like what all other browsers
did

This bug  happens while in  firefox's safe mode, it happens on my other 2
computers, and it happens to my friends computers also

and again for the forums
