1st what does overflowed items mean. I get this when I go to preview it in a browser, by the looks of the message it doesn’t look like its what you want, also i didn’t get this message before. Why does it do this, and is there something I can do to fix the issue?
Also when I preview in Firefox its fine, but when I preview in Safari it takes one of my graphic images, warps and elongates it and it looks pretty bad. Any help would be super appreciated. Thanks

That’s probably an old image being cached. Hit the reload button a few times in Safari, or add a ? to the end of the URL.
This generally means that an item - usually an HTML box with text in
it, but it can affect HTML boxes with images - has been knocked out
of kilter by another item on the page. This could be another HTML box
or a graphic. The overflowed box will appear in Freeway with a
diagonal cross in it.
The easiest way to solve the problem is to either move items about
the page until the overflow stops, um, overflowing, or to make some
items into layers so they float on their own level and don’t mess
with each other.
(If you are using Freeway Express, you can’t do the last bit because
it’s a Pro only feature.)

Safari is a bit of a menace sometimes because it caches images quite
aggressively. The cure in this case should be to choose Empty
Cache… from the Safari menu, and then refresh the page. In bad
cases, you may need to quit and reload Safari before it behaves.
When you get the overflow warning it is associated with an item on the page eg item2a.
Go to the page referenced in the warning and click on the Site/Page header at the top left (below the Back - Forward buttons).
You want the header to read Page.
You will now see a list of all the items on the page.
By clicking on the item referenced in the error you can select the item on question and then decide how to deal with the overflow.
It may be that another html or graphic box has overlapped it and so one of them needs to be moved.
