    It's because of a sig image hosted on another site that Google are having a hissy fit about at the moment. A boards member is using that image in his sig and he's posted on the thread you've linked to. With this specific thing, sometimes google get it right and sometimes google get it wrong but they always take ages to figure out which it is.

    Nothing to do with boards but I've asked the member in question if he'd mind using an image from somewhere else to avoid the confusion for people. Hopefully he'll be OK with that.

    Either way, it's just an image from outside boards and having checked it out, you needn't be worried about it at all.
