Hi, First a note... i was really hoping to get everything solved yesterday, but didn't succeed... I need to stop working on this project for a while to focus on something that is currently more important to me... my graduation project. For this reason I will stop bothering diving into CSS from now... it is not my specialty ... and I believe the current site is acceptably better than the current one already (i.e. I can even live with the horizontal scrolling problem that occurs with some issuezilla pages). I will reply and make changes in e.g. look, think about things... but debugging CSS... nope, I think there are wiser people here who can do that much better (Ivan, Andre ;) )

Can you prepare this extra css, and upload it as issuezillaTest.css to test/www/style/css? (maybe import it in styleTest.css to demonstrate that it works)? If you can't fix it, I think it is still acceptable to launch the site. >> > * Campaign overlaps with action statements at low ress (caused by a >> change >> > to absolute positioning); resolution = try fixing it with float (just >> an >> > idea: can we overcome the spacing/float problem with negative >> > left-margins?)... otherwise... otherwise we can take some space from >> the >> > action statements?

Depends on the importance... for many websites it is quite normal to have a kind of admin/my pages section behind the username...

I think they are acceptable as they look now, but maybe a bit smaller, and less bright might be better.). We can also decide to turn them off... since I have never seen the breadcrumbs going more than one level deep at openoffice.org (but my browsing is limited), or at least it has never been really useful at openoffice.org ... g., Maarten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
