h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It is very weird, cannot figure out what it is a picture of but it looks vaguely like one of those clips to hold a large number of pages together in the office. It appears to be black and white and is in the place of the <

You need to be in Pliney to see it and you need to be in a thread that has more than one page and then you need to be on the first page. Look up in the top right hand corner, the picture is there. If you cannot see it post back here and I will try to describe it better.

What isss it?

So, Pliny, thread with multiple pages, first page of thread, upper right... Nope, don't see anything unusual. What operating system/browser are you using? (Windows 7, Firefox (signed in), IE (not signed in))

It is there in Pliny whether I am signed in or not.
It takes the place of the < at the beginning of the queue of teal donuts for pages of the thread.
I tried to paste the beginning of the source code in this window and it threw me out of h2g2 and into a large screen.
I am running an Apple Mac, not sure which big cat but fairly recent.

This is the first weird thing I have ever experienced on the internet.

Oh, and I am running Safari and the picture is 1 inch square.

This is the picture http://h2g2.com/img/global/pag/prev_grey.jpg
I found the address in the source code.
All Pastey has to do is find that part of the source code and see why it's there?
I am no coder.

Is this a hack?

It's not anything unusual--it just means that there *are* no previous pages to navigate to If you look, you should notice that it looks the same as the normal one, just gray. (At least the image I get when I click that link. Maybe it's a Mac/Safari/your personal machine issue if you see something different?)
