I just noticed that in Chrome for Mac, my text ads are showing 90x90 square buttons with a large arrow in the middle. WTF? The stupid arrow buttons are already horrible in Firefox and Safari, but this takes the cake! Anybody else seeing this?

Tried to post a screenshot, no luck. WW is not allowing it. Will sticky mail link to anyone who wants to see it.
Existing threads are great sources of information if one isn't opposed to reading.

Pretty sure this isn't browser specific
It's not. Seen it in FF and IE

Thanks Play_Bach for clearing this up with a screen shot. You have my apologies for jumping to a bad conclusion. This is actually a different issue than the 90 x 90 images discussed in the thread I mentioned above. It is in fact a 90 x 90 Nessie arrow of sorts. OMG, UGLY!
Why Chrome, well maybe G just feels more comfortable using their own customers as guinea pigs. Could also be a temporary size bug. All this experimentation is bound to lead to some real interesting side-effects along the way.

They're getting bigger, I have them on 336 x 280 measuring 336 x 69.
I have an image, where's the most suitable place these days?
Ridiculous. Is this just another attempt to make publishers finally give up and opt in for image ads by making text ads as unattractive as possible? I don't get it.
