PROBLEM: Apparently the Logo above the menu is being cut off on each side for some viewers.

If any of you have a sec I would appreciate it if you can take a look and report back.

Thanks.

Yes, I noticed it a few days ago. Figured you meant it that way.

I have a 27" iMac and it looks okay - any idea why it is clipping the sides?

Because you uploaded a square photo as I posted above.

I also see your logo as square.

When I looked at the URL used to access the logo it is showing an image with a custom size at 125x90. If I look at the image at that size it shows as Mike posted it, looks square. If I change the URL to use a standard S or M size, it shows the full logo as a rectangle - I think that is what you want.

I'm guessing here... check the gallery that contains the image. Is it by chance set to SmugMug style with square thumbnails? If it is, try turning square thumbnails off.

Or - if it is set to a different style, change the style to SmugMug, make sure square thumbnails are off, save, then change the style back to whatever you want. I just did a test on my site and if I set the gallery to SmugMug style with square thumbs then change it to a different gallery style the smallest images (Ti) are still stuck at square. I had to set the gallery back to SmugMug style, turn the square thumbs off, then reset the gallery style as desired. That seems odd, but maybe that's what's happening to your logo.

Thanks Denise and Mike.
Denise, I tried your suggestion and it didn't do anything so I decided to go back to the logo design.
The original logo was a .png that didn't allow any tolerance so I reworked it on a white bg with some white surround then deleted the original block and added a new single picture block and uploaded the new logo design.
Then I messed around with margins etc. and it seems to work - sort of.
Checked it on the other iMac and my MacPro and there is no clipping.
Logo seems a little large but happy for now.

That looks much better.
