Following your debugging instructions, I attempted to find the 'culprit' in the code. Attached is a screenshot of the code. I was not able to trace down the correct code I needed.
I tried to fix the PHOTOS page. I use a template from yootheme.com which utilizes a 'widgetkit' component. I tried adding widgetkit/widgetkit-a9ff0bdd.css & widgetkit/widgetkit-4e15a4d1.js as exceptions but they did not work.
On the frontpage I tried using: widgetkit/widgetkit-a9ff0bdd.css and that did not correct the front page layout.
It's strange, on the frontpage, both photos are visible. (It's really a banner and only ONE should appear at a time).
On the photos page, NONE of the photos appear. (Although sliding-thumbnails should be visible).
Any help would be appreciated unless you feel it's not really necessary to utilize the .htaccess feature.
Thanks,
Doug
