Look at the tutorial here: http://code.google.com/p/pgn4web/wiki/User_Notes_wordpress Among other things, you'll see that you can control the height of the chessboard frame using the height=789 parameter, such as: [pgn height=567] e4 e6 d4 d5 [/pgn] So, you can actually control the ugly amount of white space left at the bottom, with scrollbars automatically appearing if you dont leave enough. About the flakeyiness, I'm afraid that depends on you hosting provider. The plugin is just pulling a javascript file, bitmaps and fonts from the web server where your blog is delivered from. Otherwise, open the page with firefox and let me know of any messages from the firefox "Error Console". Good luck! Hello,

Just wow! Over $20 million "won" over a period of 4 years. That's really insane. If it's true that the sites in question were really not involved in the cheating, they really have POOR security. How can it have gone undetected for years? OMG! Wow! Just wow! Over $20 million “won” over a period of 4 years. That’s really insane.
