Hi folks,

I just discovered an odd occurrence and a fix if you are using the Giordani theme. This theme uses a very cool rotating banner at the top of every page. So, each time you navigate to a new page, new images show-up depending on what images are in the theme folder img/banners/ directory. However, the images do not show up in IE 6. The solution is to change two areas.

1) In the Giordani theme folder, you need to change the name of the banners/ directory to anything other than banners/. This is because Kaspersky firewall program in IE6 blocks the word "banners." Why? Who knows?

2) Then in the styles.css file, rename the path to the same new name of the new directory. Where it now says "rotate" (the name I chose to use), it used to be "banners." It is the header tag that needs to be changed:

header {

padding: 0;
margin: 0;
height: 200px; /*rotates images in the rotate folder */
position:relative;
width: 970px;
background-color: #044c86;
background-image: url(img/rotate/rotate.php);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 0px;
}

I am also seeing a problem with the right column block in IE6. It drops down to the bottom of the page. While I have looked through all the discussions, messed with the CSS and the templates files, I have not been able to resolve this issue. The designer of the theme says he is working on a fluid layout for the theme, but that is not complete yet.
