Incorrect Menu Mouseovers

[n3rdXcore]

I've noticed when I mouseover the various links in the banner menu (NEWS FEATURES REVIEWS etc), the mouseover art appears to be having some troubles. In Firefox, the first time I mouseover a link, a grey box appears where the word is supposed to be for a few moments. In Chrome, a little red line appears to the left of each word (see attached picture). It's something minor, and it may be completely out of your control, but I thought I'd make a note of it.

Ninja Edit: In Chrome, that little red line appears as a light blue line when the link is not mouseover-d. Also, not a big deal, but it's different than how it appears in other browsers.

i noticed that too, but i nearly never use the menu ^^
this is just a friendly suggestion, i dont want to tell the webdesigner how to do his job :) but maybe do it with sprites? sprites are awesome ;) tutorial (http://line25.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-css-menu-using-image-sprites)

Yeah, that gray box appears while you're loading the image. Any way to get browsers to preload the images?
