32 Well, part of this is how ugly it looks with a gray outline in that nice
33 purple background, and part of it is how we need somewhere for subnav to
34 go, by subnav I mean the "FAQ | Search | Memberlist | Usergroups |
35 Statistics | Profile | You have no new messages | Log out" links the
36 forum has and the links we'll need under each toplevel section of our
37 site, say you click on "About"...at a minimum we need to link to
38 philosophy and social contract from there...and all our toplevel apps
39 could make use of this, bugs, packages, and archives for instance.

47 Well, the horizontal scroll bar is ok with me since it allows us to
48 maintain the integrity of the design on the screen, but I don't
49 understand what vertical scroll bars are being displayed there for...we
50 should _never_ have vertical scroll bars, and only have horizontal
51 scroll bars when the content is too wide for the display area.

55 See above, sorry :)

62 I can create xsl from Aaron's code in about an hour and I'm sure we can
63 come up with a box to use for testing, I'd just need to talk to
64 Ramereth.
