I was wondering why I was getting broken image icons and other weird problems with the rendering of the tutorials, so I took a look at the source. So far, every one has had the same HTML error:

<td><B>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font face='verdana' size='2'><a href='?' class='link'>Home</a> ›› <a href='?m=browse&id=3' class='link'>Retouching Tutorials</a> ›› The quick de-grunge trick</font></B}</td>

I'm sure you spotted it already, but it's a "}" substituted for a ">" near the end of that code.

I am also wondering how the heck to turn off that pesky floating menu that insists on bouncing up and down on the left edge of the screen. I gather it's in the CSS? I know I once managed to exterminate it years ago, but have forgotten how and nothing I've tried so far works :-( .

Thanks. I found and replaced the "}". Interesting that in 4 or so years no one has caught it before.

As to the floating menu, it's the last vestage of our old forum style. I'll be replacing the entire tutorials system as soon as a good and compatible replacement comes along. I'm amazed it's still running, since the developer abandoned it a couple of years ago.

You can zap the menu by turning off javascript, but that will make much of this site unusable.

Hmmm. Fixing that bug does not seem to have fixed the overall problem I was/am seeing. Will attach a screenshot.

Also, was able to zap the menu by using Adblock to block the ssm.js element without killing javascript entirely.

See the FAQ concerning your red-x image problem (granted, they aren't red x's in Firefox).

Thanks! Fixed it by setting network.http.sendRefererHeader to "2" ("1" might work ... or not).
