Let me know if anything looks weird in the browser you're using or if something is not accessible anymore or things like that. I sorta designed this layout (well, sorta). I mostly just tinkered and chopped away at the basic CSS for Tabula Rasa until it did what I wanted it to do.

You'll need to turn off all your modules except the navigation, unless you want to modify that as well. It may look funky if you don't.

And yes, you can borrow it if you like. And feel free to modify anything and everything. Credit would be super nice.

So, here it is. I call it "Flutterby" and it works with Tabula Rasa:

It looks like this (click for bigger view):

ETA: The problem with the navigation module has been fixed! Sorry for that!

I'm still trying to figure out why this is happening. I have FF 9.0.1 as well and I've been testing it in that browser and I'm still not getting anything like what you have seen.

BTW, are you on a Mac or a PC and are you using Windows or what? I think that MIGHT be part of it. I don't know.

I'm really baffled as to why this is happening, because other people are saying it works just fine for them.

intermezzo

I have no idea why this is happening either. I'd include a screenshot, but I think it's useless, considering how it's exactly the same as

adadesigns. But if you need it, I'll take it Let me know.

I'm on a PC running Windows 7 Ultimate

ETA: maybe FF addons somehow mess with the layout? ALthough I have no idea how
I have:
-adblock plus
-add to search bar 2
-addon compatibility reporter
-FEBE 7.0.2
-livejournal addon 9.5
-Remove table 0.5.0.1
-Snap link plus 2.2.1
-Undo closed tabs 3.7.1
-IE tab 2 (disabled)
