Hi,

I've been lurking here for a good while, I tend to use Chrome to browse but always found the clever little image-zoom feature of the forum to produce blurry results.

I'm not sure when support was added, but this: 

   image-rendering: pixelated;


does a much better job of fixing it in Chrome than when it's set to -moz-optimize-contrast.

hopefully it's not too tricky for someone to tweak the CSS files.

Thanks

Thanks for the report.
I find it incredible how the Chrome developers handled the thing :
2008 : "Yes, we broke images" ( https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1502 - ref )
2009 : "You need to put a special thing in the CSS of your websites, then we'll actually support it" ( https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1502#c12 - ref ).
2013 : (Seem to be working on it) ( https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113405 - ref )
2014 : (Some versions of Chrome on OSX support the property for a few months, but it's accidental, it was not meant for release, and quickly removed later)
2015: "It works! No it doesn't? Maybe it's because we changed our mind on the CSS tag, so you need to go back and modify the CSS of all the websites again" ( https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=134040#c68 - ref )
