Can anyone running desktop Safari tell me if they see any pictures here?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I see 2 pictures, but I had to reload the page to get them to show up (when it first loaded, it was only the text).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just see the eye. Reloading doesn't change anything, except I saw some image flash very quickly.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I had the same issue on Safari for iPad. If I arrow to the right, I see the guy walking the dog. Then arrow left, back to the linked page, I get a brief flash of a picture. Building and scaffolding?? But then it disappears.

I do see the Eye at the top. It's half Gatsby like. Just need the glasses. Or Sauron?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I could use some help. I'm doing some emergency work for a website, and trying to figure out what controls the background of this page.

Looking at the style sheet (here), it seems like it would be controlled by the bit under * Gradient Background *, but I've tried changing that to no effect, and it also looks like it's somehow related to the sidebars? Which is not what I want to change at all.

I didn't do this install or theme, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

It's in black_red.css, line 10:

#container { background: #f4f4f4 url(black_red/bgtile.jpg) repeat-x top left; }

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Then why does it appear as a gradient? And in case I'm using the wrong terminology, I don't mean the background of the text boxes, but the overall page background.

(And I am HUGELY grateful for your help, Mr. Scola.)

The background tile image it points to (black_red/bgtile.jpg) is a gradient.

Ohhhhh. Which is not something I can override, and I don't think I can edit that image or that style sheet. Hell.

Thanks again, Tom.
