When viewing the above page, the photos are supposed to be placed evenly,
aligned vertically.

If the browser window is much wider than required by the page, then some of the
images in some of the rows are not aligned correctly.

The same problem occurs in Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.load above page
2.scroll through page examining alignment
3.

Actual Results:  
alignment is wrong

Expected Results:  
correct/consistent alignment

Tested using IE 5.2 and Safari, and they display the page with correct alignment.

You do have to look *very* closely.

I'm now using :

Firefox/0.8.0+

I think I saw what you mean... but I no longer see it... could you attach a
screen shot?

Confirmed using Camino/20004042608. Reassigning to Browser. Forcing the page to
redraw by reloading or resizing the window seems to correct it (though on reload
another image somewhere in the document will likely be mispositioned).

Might be either a Tables or Images layout problem. Starting with Tables.

I think this one is fixed by the fix for bug 237366.

I can see the bug with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040605
Firefox/0.8.0+
But I can't see it anymore with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040606
Firefox/0.8.0+

I agree that it seems to be fixed in 2004061408.
