Rik, works fine in 3.6.1
Kerry-Anne - i forgot to let you know, that didn't work for me, it shifted things all over. But that's OK, I've gotten used to the footer the way it is. I have a new problem though that I just became aware of since I use IE and it only seems to happen in Firefox.
The line "All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:06 AM." in the footer gets pushed way over and to the top so that you have to scroll to the right a whole page width. Any idea how to correct that?
