Just a few comments, probably not quite what you want...
I am looking at your home page in my Mac browsers first. In Opera,
nothing slides, even the "Popular Links" bottom left is entirely
missing. The arrows in the latter slide in Chrome, as in other Mac
browsers. In Opera, the page is not easily usable, never finishes
loading and does not show your slideshow at all and causing somehow
the shadow underline of the show to appear way below in the middle of
text.
On Windows the situation is similar, Chrome does not seem that
different to the others. But Win Opera seems to work as well as the
others
I mention all this because I think the design is way too complicated
and too high-wire to be a stable and good page, consider carefully
before expending time fixing this or that particular thing. Also look
at what happens when a user uses text size you are not expecting.
(I still have not finished
<http://dorayme.netweaver.com.au/differentEyesights/textSpill.html>
but, there may be some tips for you in this old fashioned spiel of
mine <g>)
btw, if you go to
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
you can check your CSS under CSS3 (which is less supported by browsers
but at least it's bottom line for the author css to conform)
You have a stray word, "dot" in your HTML, below your footer.

Very few people will happen to view your page at this size. Best to
design for nearly everyone. Your central "slide show" takes up a lot
of space. And there are lots and lots of problems with different less
than aesthetic things happening in different browsers.

You can put the screenshot up on a page on a public server, even
include a PRE of the code, Or you can include the code (markup and
css) in the usenet post. If it is a css query best to go to ciwas. If
it is an authoring issue not really related to css, ciwa, if unsure,
good old alt.html should be OK.
