Description:
This has been reported 4 times so far in the last week (first report mentions july 28 as the starting date of issues) through our OTRS system. None of the emails are what I would call "bug report" quality, however we have manged to get one image of the problem.

The description describes artifacts in the background, most of the reports call these artifacts "icons".
An exerpt from one of the emails:
"This just started this week. Every day I go to the daily
web page, like today, July 30, to see the events, births, deaths, etc that happened in history. Instead of a clear white background and the text, there is an icon that look like it is behind the text. There is 34 of these icons in each row, the calendar at the top of the page on the left hand side is clear, on the right had side is row after row of these icons. Further down the page where the Events, Births, Deaths, etc are is clear, but everything else has the icons behind, or over it."
I am waiting on more images from some of the other folks with the issue as well.
A guess, mentioned in #wikimedia-tech was it sounds like these icons *may* be bullet points, stacking up next to each other horizontally.
