Thank you Steve, I will contact them-

Thanks much – indeed it is there (so simple, yet confusing to someone new to this!).
Last one in this same string-
is there a way to make the “Comments are closed” text go away also?
Since I’m not going to be using comments for the site, I was thinking would be nice to keep it completely clean. If can’t easily be done, no trouble, I can live with it.
Thanks much for the help alchymyth, really is appreciated as I get up to speed!

I just un-ticked everything in ‘settings’ ‘discussion’, but the site still shows the ability to comment.

I don’t see any discussion options in the Dashboard (clicked on ‘screen options’, but don’t see a ‘discussion’ box), so I can’t un-tick any options there, however.

Hmmmmm

thank you for the help!
i think i will start by trying to adjust the widths (and making different r_sidebars for each template). then if that doesnt work, tackle the conditional commenting – that sounds like it might be a bit advanced for me (creating another css sheet, though maybe i can figure it out – if i do that do i copy all the code from my main style sheet and put it into the new css sheet along with conditional code? or does that new css sheet ONLY have the conditional code? i didnt think it was clear from that elated.com page but maybe i overlooked)

thanks again everyone – i *really* appreciate it.

lol!!!
thanks chrisber and visal_hd

i did see that there is a ton of discussion around this, unfortunately most is tailored to real programmers (not me!). would you all have any advice for someone completely new to this to learn something really basic – like why in IE6 the content appears under the left nav rather than in the middle of the page (as it does on other browsers). i am usually ok and muddling through things once i get a start, but i figure there is something in this theme that is missing so IE6 makes the “middle” content appear under the left nav as opposed to the middle of the page. for something like that i search and search, but cant seem to find an easy answer. any direction would be a big help! but of course til then i will absolutely keep searching the boards – thanks!!!
oh, and though i havent been doing this very long, im starting to really hate IE. i wish people didnt visit my site using it! maybe i should just block anyone from visiting who is still using IE6
haha ??

ahh – i found the culprit…
“lighter-admin-drop-menus” (i just deleted the entire folder using cpanel and everything seems to work now)

that was a bit stressful for someone who doesnt really know what they are doing!!! :-O

Helene-
did you just simply remove the entire folder using CPanel? anything else required? Thanks!

now that I have seen other screenshots I can more accurately describe…what I am missing is the entire left hand navigation when I am withing the dashboard, so I can’t really do anything.
I used the plugin to auto-update since I am truly non-technical…
Any advice on how I can fix this? Thanks so much!

hi courtknee-
im having the same issue you were (are?) – nothing on the left hand side. im not a programmer at all, do you have any advice for me on how to fix this? ack!

Oh btw, I am using the Fold Page List plugin if that matters…
Thanks!

Ahh – I figured out what I was doing wrong.
To all those other newbies out there:
Make sure the table in your style.css file isn’t forcing your tables wider than you want!

Thanks iridiax-

Thanks!

Ooops – I should have noted that I did try to figure out the wrapping text using
ALIGN=”RIGHT”
but unfortunately what starts happening is that the table starts moving to the left and writes over the l_sidebar…really strange (to me). Can’t seem to figure out why that is!

Regarding switching themes – could I use the main content column file from another theme, and keep the rest of what I currently have?

I have put quite a bit of time into modifying this theme (though you might not be able to tell – haha!) so if I can keep all the work I have done so far that would be fantastic-
Thanks

I should have said, I am looking to learn how to do this so in the long run I will be able to modify the colors so I could do something more advanced (for me), like the background on cnet, for example.
