Double Quotes in the Titles
The double quotes are blocking the title text from the thumbnail previews. If you put your computer's mouse pointer over the image above, then you will see this. I suggest that you use single quotes, if you need to.
The double quotes will block everything to the right of them from all views, including the genus, species and gender, in all parts of the guide, including the browser and info pages. Single quotes will not do this.
Please select "edit" and replace them. Let me know if you don't understand this, OK.
