home/login missing after upgrade

I rebuilt site in 1.3.8a on localhost, and upgraded today via ftp all files, mods, and security updates, overwriting 1.3.7 livesite. Updated data base. Loaded in any new sql patches.

Relatively painless, much to my surprise. There were a few formatting variances from my test site to live site, even though both viewed with IE7. I fiddled and tweaked a bit with stylesheet and resolved issues except:

My home/login on the navMainSearch bar is missing in action. I've tried fiddling the margins in stylesheet to no avail. The home/login is present on my test site.

I do have home/login on CSS Flyout Header, so this issue doesn't cripple site....just strange that it exists on test site and not on livesite when its the same files.

Site is www.soxophoneplayer.com

I resolved this, I think. Must have something to do with Windows XP (my test site) vs Linux (my live site).

Much fiddling with stylesheet and tpl_header.php corrected issue on live site.... home/login links back on nav bar (though now gone on test site).

This actually turned out to be an Explorer 7 vs 8 issue - I rebuilt my upgrade while still on 7, but an automatic update to 8 did the magic poop just after I ftp's my files live.
