There are not two instances of $navbar in the shell_blank template. I also tried the attached file, overwriting the one currently on the server.

Still...same issue.

Try importing/uploading attached files

Was there anything else you changed apart from switching to alternative display?

I will try the new files.

Everything was working fine until you directed me to try the alternate display. As soon as I made that selection and saved the settings...I had two navbars and two Google Ads. It has been that way, ever since. Nothing I have tried has worked.

Will keep you posted...

Update...

The latest two files seemed to have fixed the problem. Thanks for taking the time to fix this for me.

What would cause the article and the comments to change places? When I post an article, it looks perfect, as expected. As soon as someone comments, the comment is now in the article's place, and the article is down with other comments. ?????

I'm not sure... check the times of the posts. Also have you enabled newest posts first for threads?

Nice addition. I installed this and was wondering if there is a layout format or setting to give the article a more magazine look, maybe columns, text wrap around images. etc.

Thanks!
