lizard - if you want to fix the article side bar creeping over if there are too few of charaters but dont want to wait for the next package update... do this:
in GAS_article_pb replace:
PHP Code:
<td class="alt1" valign="top">
<!-- message, attachments, sig -->
with
PHP Code:
<td class="alt1" valign="top" width="100%">
<!-- message, attachments, sig -->
Also - im attaching the GAS_threadbit_deleted template to address your point.
