Do you mean on the BBB pamphlet? Could you maybe throw a few images through Paint and circle what you're referring to so we can hop on the same page? Smile

 		Welp, I printed out the pages and fiddled around with them. Here's what I managed in terms of lining up the creases. The way I see it, if you fold the center line inwards (so the center goes away from you) and the left and right page lines outwards (so they come towards you), the creases will line up perfectly. Plus, the blue bars line up. I just can't figure out where to go from there. I tried folding it along the creases, but it didn't create any recognizable shapes, and I tried taking all the letters that the creases go over, but they didn't form any useful anagrams. At least, so far as I can tell. There's a good chance I missed something.

Sorry, I'm a little new to the whole ARG thing (and apparently have an addictive type personality!) so I'm not so great with the technological stuff yet.

However, I really do thik its just me or my computer, because when i look at the website, i dont see it, only here. i think maybe full size it isnt there, so probably just a glitch on my senior citizen computer.

Yes, it does sound like your computer is rendering the image at a reduced size or modified dimensions. Here's a test:
  1. Go to the page with the image in question, like http://traelekinstitute.com/BBB/default3.htm
  2. Depending on your browser and keyboard, you should be able to right-click on the brochure and select a way to view just the image, such as http://traelekinstitute.com/BBB/cgh566rhfh.jpg
  3. Then also depending on your browser (such as Firefox), the image might be shmooshed to fit within the window. (Firefox shows a zoom-cursor if you can click on the image to resize it)
  4. Were you able to duplicate the resolution of the attachments you see here?

I might be trying too hard to help here, sorry.

The quote in the page source had the word "important" in italics:

 		Oh right, "always check the source code." No wonder I couldn't figure out the next page's URL. Silly me. *hides in the corner of ARG n00b shame and woe*

Actually, it should stand out visually in italics on the page itself. Wink just sayin'
