 * Hello,
 * I am not sure if my issue is a theme issue but i suspect it is. I just started
   working on this site it’s still new:
 * [newtechcentury.com](http://newtechcentury.com)
 * The featured image slide does not load properly and i haven’t the slightest on
   what might be causing it to behave like that. Another thing the theme is the 
   freeware version still testing it out. Other than that i haven’t come across 
   any problems. Any help on how i can fix that would be much appreciated and thanks
   in advance.
 * Donell.

 * oh, that’s a problem with a lot of image sliders. You need to set the slides 
   to display:none initially like so:
 * #mygallery .open, #mygallery .slideelement{display: none;}

 * Bheadrick where do i find that? I was looking for it in the header.php and featured.
   php but can’t find it.

 * you put that in your style.css. It will essentially hide all the slides when 
   the site first loads, but the jquery will make them visible once the site finished
   loading.

 * Thanks Bheadrick for the come back, i looked into the style.css and the only 
   thing with display in it:
    #pagemenu li a, #pagemenu li a:link { color: #8BA0B4;
   display: block;
 * #pagemenu li a:hover, #pagemenu li a:active{
    color: #FFFFFF; display: block;#
   navcontainer { height: 42px; display: block; overflow: hidden; commentmetadata{
   margin: 0; display: block;
 * I swept through the style.css several times and nothing related to slides and
   display. However, the only thing close to:
    #mygallery .open, #mygallery .slideelement{
   display: none;} is this:
 * <div id=”myGallery” class=”jdGallery withArrows” style=”display: block;”>
    I 
   used firebug, i went ahead to search for this line in the header.php and style.
   css and other php files it’s not there. I also posted a support query with this
   on the WordPress themes forums and still no reply.

 * Its not there.you need to add it.
    The jquery handles positioning and hiding 
   slides so only one displays at a time, but it only starts working after the page
   loads. You want to hide the slides first. The jquery will override once it is
   running. You can put the line of CSS I gave you at the bottom of your style.CSS

 * Bheadrick its still a no go, i even got a response from the theme’s support stating
   i should add only at the bottom of css.
 * .slideelement{display: none;}
 * I tried out both suggestions yours still makes the slide and lettering load in
   a distorted manner. The support suggestion loads the same but the slide images
   are hidden.

 * I finally got something that seems to help with the slideshow and text loading
   issue. I was give this to paste it at the bottom of the css.
 * #myGallery {
    overflow: hidden; }
