Might be of interest to those who, along with myself, are/were having issues connecting to the forums:
Original message details are unavailable.
Well their partner for telecommunications, Level3, is the route cause of the disruption and Jagex isn't the only company suffering from this latency, timeouts, and dropped packets. If you were to do:
tracert services.runescape.com
in command prompt on Windows you'd see where stuff starts to fail.
Might be of some interest:

I haven't had any issues myself but I have seen a number of posts from others who are having issues. I have also seen RS Linkify mentioned a couple of times too.
I haven't replied but for those who are interested, RS Linkify doesn't interact with the page until it has loaded (not before). It can't add latency or weaken your connection because if the pages hasn't loaded RS Linkify is essentially dormant. I can't interact with something that's not there (non loaded page).
However on some systems the snow may impact performance, I have tested and ran the snow on a pentium IV single core CPU (yes a real potato and it ran terribly but didn't crash and disabling the snow kept things running well) with the runescape client running low detail at the same time. I use this as my yardstick for what's acceptable and I feel that's more than adequate.
But I'm not perfect and if someone is having problems and suspects it's Linkify related I want to know and I'll look into it right away

Does anyone know what causes this around forum posts and how to fix it?

Last time it happened the only way I could find a fix was to system restore, except this time it started happening right after a fresh windows install.
Edit: It does it on Firefox also

@Uuo, I hope this okay. Had to crop it down to fit as an avatar. You can post the original pic (clan avatar) too. It's no problem if you wish to have more than one custom avatar.
Tbh Thunder I consider you the authority on that issue since you have resolved it in the past.
But I have read about colour issues in browsers. One thing of interest (may not be applicable) was colour profiles that came with drivers and/or software has been known to cause similar issues.
That could explain how it occurs after a clean windows install, assuming you've installed drivers as well.
I have had no first hand experience with this issue though (kind of glad about that) so I can't recommend a solution. But removing and/or trying different colour profiles might be worth experimenting with.
I'd be looking at it on an operating system/driver/software level before looking at browser level, since it's occurring with more than browser, but I guess that's probably where you'd be focusing anyway.
Sorry I'm can't offer any real help in the matter, hopefully someone will see your post who has a better idea of what's going on. I'd really like to know what's happening here too.
If I learn anything that may help I'll post my findings.
@Uuo, you're welcome
