Acquia Marina: How do I use or hide the blue stripe

Hello everybody,

after a consultation with our graphician I noticed that while I chose Acquia Marina to use on Drupal 6, I am not able to recognize the correct use of the horizontal blue stripe under the primary links menu that goes through the whole page. So it's unused and empty and it takes up precious space.
Would someone be so kind to tell me what text goes in there or how to remove the stripe? Thanks!

Drupal 6?

This sounds like you are building a new site?

If so, what is the logical reason to use D6. D8 is already in Beta and when it goes live you only have about 3 months of support for D6.

The real question is why are you not using D7 which is much more mature.

Drupal 6

Thank you for your input, ElegantSolutions.

The version of Drupal I am using doesn't rely on me. I am not the admin of the server and I have restricted access to it. The admin even fears to upgrade to a newer version of Drupal 6 because it could break the sites already hosted on the server. He is a bit conservative. But maybe I should negotiate a new installation and migration of the content I already created.

The admin can ask me a similar question: What is the logical reason to migrate to Drupal 7 if everything works now?

As it's going to take a longer time, how do I solve this on Drupal 6?

Multi-Site?

Is he running a multi-site configuration?

Is he modifying core?

What version of 6 are you running? Is your admin aware of the security risks of an old version?

A new version with migration sounds like the best bet. You will also have more choices for themes and better overall security.

Multi-Site

Yes, exactly, he’s running a multi-site configuration. The problem is his lack of time because all the sites are nonprofit and he has to do this in his spare time.

But I think he doesn’t modify the Drupal core. He isn’t a Drupal specialist.
We have Drupal 6.25 installed. I know that there should already be at least version 6.35 installed for security reasons.

Never mind, this is my personal problem and it seems there’s nothing more the community can help me with. But I can use your recommendation as an argument and I thank you for that opportunity. Personally, I always prefer to work with up-to-date (while still stable) software, which D7 really is.

If your friend doesn't

If your friend doesn't upgrade too often or doesn't feel confident with it, I'd probably recommend not going multi-site and running each site with its own Drupal install.

Even though he is choosing to use multi-site, he is still able to run other drupal installs on the same server. So, he could have a multi-site running Drupal 6 and then your site running the latest Drupal 7.
