Yes, images are blurry. “View Full Size” images appear ok, but the images loaded in carousel’s side-scrolling view have a subtle, but very discomforting blur. It’s completely unusable as one becomes nauseous after viewing a few images.

Looking for a way to hide the gif? Put this in your stylesheet:
img#wpstats{display:none}
