Could I remove this from the bottom of the vbcms_widget_cmsfcs_page without causing any problems?

<div class="block">

<div class="cms_widget_content widget_content">
</div>
</div>

Hey.
Great Mod!
As to add the title?

Thanks.

First of all congratulations for the mod, it was what I was looking for!
On my site the news are composed of text and video of youtube, you can replicate a miniature of any media?
Thx

Ive read every post and Ive seen this asked but never answered. Ive got the slider working fine but I would very much like to remove the preview images (tabs) completely and still rotate the main slides.

Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks...

Never mind I figured out a way that seems to work

In vbcms_widget_cmsfcs_page I commented out every css attribute that included ui-tabs-nav.

Then at the top just below <style type="text/css">

I added this.
.ui-tabs-nav {
display: none;
}
