I will not attach the snapshot of what I see (as we are communicating through mail list), but try grabbing right bottom corner of the browser window, and move that around. You will see that with resizing of window darn clickable image floats separately above the rest of the page and can block some information. That IMHO is not appropriate for website where INFORMATION is paramount, not a cool look. Herr Polytropon in his response had given more details about the internals of that front page. Valeri PS My first name originated from Russia, where it is mostly male given name (so my parents were not crazy giving me that name), some females have the same name (modified to indicate female). As far as I know the name came to Russia from France where it is both female and male name. The spelling Valeri was made from cyrillic (and was acceptable) when I published my first paper in English language based journal (my earlier publications were in Russian). The spelling was acceptable conversion from cyrillic as one of the options, including when my passport in English language was issued. I don't care frankly what gender one thinks I am on the list - provided it doesn't end up in proposal of marriage ;-) > > Regards, > Ralf > > [1] > Valerie ist ein weiblicher Vorname.
