[Bf-webcontent] Strange little red things

Hi everybody!

Every time I visited projects.blender.org , I wondered what the strange 
little red things next to the navigation buttons were.  If you mouse 
over one in Firefox (I don't know if IE does it), a small red line will 
appear next to it.  In a sudden revelation (deterimining its 
significance or lack thereof is left as an exercise to the reader), I 
figured out what they were.

Notice that there is a space after each image, like so: <a 
href="URL"><img src="file" /> </a>
Firefox assumes that the space is part of the link, and on mouse over, 
underlines it.  Removing the space or putting it outside the anchor tag 
removes the little lines.  This may or may not be relevant, but I always 
thought the red lines looked bad.
