Hi Brian!
Thank you for your answer! My site is importing only the mootools.1.1.js file now and I can see the avatars (hurray!) but only in IE (not in the Mozilla and Safari).
I think I need some kind of CSS correction since I can see in that avatars are imported in the Firebug but hidden behind other div-s. Can you recommend some kind of CSS correction for my vertical left module?

I've noticed also that the same module on the moolets site has a nice div that contains a list of _link_s and images, compared with my module where I've nested span-s containing _link_s and images (class vertical _frame_).

Thank you once again!
Greetings from Geno

PS Those latest changes were done on my local machine and not on the live page that is _link_ed in my previous message - still testing how other modules will react
