Very nice, I like it :) However, I've found that with large landscape
previews and both the category preview and js checkusage installed, the
image preview tends to be pushed down below the catpreview. I have a wide
monitor and this still happens. You can see

Is that due to how I have the two installed in my javascript subpage
or is
it something else?
