Help with articles

What do you mean?

So am I correct in saying that all articles are based on the front page? That they can not be independent of whatever content is in the front page blocks? That's what my root problem is here. I create an article and anytime I look at it, my front page blocks are on the same page ... why? I thought the purpose of an article was to basically be a separate page.

Hmmm, I might be headed in the right direction ...

Normal, frontblocks are shown alone
- This is what I needed

In the article options you can set whether or not you would like blocks to display or not.

BTW, the shoutbox is NOT FOR SUPPORT. Please do not post for support in the shoutbox.

My apologies, was trying to get the attention of a member who helped me last time, I should have sent a PM.

Thanks for the info, hopefully I'm off to design my site a bit better now.

What do you mean?

I use a 1024 x 768 screen resolution and the right side is out of sight on the end a scroll bar. The width of the weather block is causing it, with the block shrunk it is OK(ish). It is OK in Firefox and Opera but there is still a problem in IE7

'The Browns' & 'IGN' blocks have content wider than the block and overflow. The problem bit is the 'Prev' & 'Next' line, in IE it shoves everything to the right.

Your shoutbox is screwed bigtime see the screenshot from IE I have attached.

Wow ... I haven't heard of anyone else having a problem with the shoutbox as of yet. Well, that's IE7 for ya.

As for the RSS blocks, I've been posting in the thread to the person who created those RSS feeds for 2 months and have not yet gotten support . So If I can find a better RSS display I'll replace it ...

Essentially it is a Dynamic Drive script, have you tried posting in the Dynamic Drive Forum for help?

I'm guessing the shoutbox is set to scroll?
There was a recent Topic about this problem. It was narrowed down to the auto scroll option.
