The main forum page contains a very useful section of the sidebar that allows users to see recent image posts on the forum. The problem is images take a second longer to load in than the rest of the sidebar content (as illustrated in the two images below) so 'recent posts' in the sidebar shift down the page after the images load. I often find myself about to click on a 'recent post' in the sidebar only to find myself mis-clicking on another thread because the time taken between starting to move my mouse over to the desired thread and actually clicking is enough time for the images to load and shift everything down. Given that the image thumbnails are fixed in size, could the CSS of the site be updated to include some padding the same size as the images waiting to load in? That would prevent the sidebar shifting problem from occurring. A minimal amount of CSS would save me (and potentially others) from this headache.
Many thanks in advance if my irritation is accounted for!
Before the images load (as you can see there are no placeholders the same size as the images that are yet to load):
After the images load (the "Latest Posts" sidebar shifts down causing my misclicks):
