Ah, I found out why I couldn't see the template edits in your install read me. All I could see was the edits but not where they actually are supposed to be done.
They don't show up in Internet Explorer 7.0 - it was fine once I switched to Firefox. For some reason IE 7 wasn't pulling in the js files.
Now perhaps I might be able to get this hack working. Only testing it for now, because of all the prolems other people seem to be having on here. I'll report back if I get this working.
