Hi, sorry for replying so late, im using the grid theme from mountainthemes downloader from codecanyon.net. I actually spoke to the author of the stripes nav bar plugin. He thought the problem peculiar and took a look in my WordPress, and said the issue most likely lies with the ajax pre-loader in the theme. By simply disabling the pre-loader I was able to eliminate the issue. This fix is enough for me; however, a solution that involves re-enabling the pre-loader is welcome also.
The more pressing and probably a more simply diagnosed issue is the imaged resizing on the about and philosophy pages. I cant seem to figure out a solution, granted, I’ve been spending most of my time on the menu.
