I can see some images, but probably not user images - I see no cakes.

The side behaves very oddly. I have a dual-monitor setup here, two HP 
24" screens, one in portrait orientation and the other landscape.

Most of my work is on the vertical screen. At my default size, I got 
just a bit of the "heaven sent" image on either size, menus top and 
bottom, a location panel on viewer's left, inside but beside the heaven 
sent image.

I narrowed the window and the side images vanished, the location data 
moved to a bigger panel on my right and lost its location and hours 
headers. The top menu was redrawn on my left.


Now, Pia, you are allowed to blush.

The top menus work because they are relative to ~pia/. For example,
http://50.22.80.44/~pia/?q=our-menu

The bottom menus don't work because they are absolute. For example,
http://50.22.80.44/our-menu

It's that easy:-)

btw That facebook link wanders around depending on the width of the 
display too. If you have an Android tablet (I am using an ASUS TF300T 
with Android 4.2 and the chrome browser), you can see the problem. And 
the tabled shows little markers where the images should be.

I suspect Hostgator is doing its nasty 404 recovery and confusing the 
matter.

Does this look like a valid location for an image? It looks odd to me:
