When you say "overlaying", do you mean the background is actually obscuring the information so that it can't be read?
There is an option on the "upload your photo" page for uploading a background ("set profile background"), which also has an option to "delete without replacing" which sets it to no background. This confused me at first as the background shows whenever you view anyone else's profile, I couldn't understand why there was an old pic of me in the background of someone else's profile, it looked a bit cluttered but I could still actually read the information. I realised I had accidentally uploaded a photo as my "background" instead of as my photo or icon.
Someone else asked a similar queastion recently, but of course Katie can't "see" the problem because the background you set is yours alone and can't be seen by anyone else.
