At the very beginning of this thread you were pointed to the W3C
validation service:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...3dex%2Fnews.htm

This is a very useful service, it shows where your code has errors.
Don't expect anybody to try finding a solution in your code as long as
it is that buggy!

I see a broken image in IE, is this "correct"? :-)

You do a table layout and fill it with text gifs - there is not a single
line of text at all! So why do you put tables around the images anyway?
Make the whole page one gif, then you are sure it looks "correct" in
every browser.

The better way would be: Make a full stop, re-do the whole page with a
nice, simple HTML structure without tables, and CSS positioning layout.
It will make far less problems, and as a benefit it will be indexable by
search engines and accessible by non-visual browsers.

I also noticed that the page has absolutely no text in it. Admittedly
there's very little to read there anyway; but why have you chosen to
make what little prose there is into a 800Kb image?
