NewsApp Forum - It works now! But some suggestions

It works great.

Suggestions...

Right now I am shortening the entries by sizing the boxes. I really wish there could be a "summary" function for the newsfeeds.

And could the search box go at the bottom, or somewhere else?

Could I have an image at the top?

I can't change the look — SUZANNE, Sat Nov 11 21:01

Hi I can't change the look of the NewsApp. At all. I try to select a new template-- nothing changes. I try adding a new style sheet. Nothing. My id is: 8934 Thanks.

      Can you tell me which browser you're using? Also, are you accessing your maintenance page through the Control Center or are you accessing it directly with a URL?

        I'm using IE 6 and I'm accessing the maintenance page directly through a bookmark.

        The "graph" template seems to work okay, not the gray-- I'll have to get back to you...I'm in the middle of something.

        My external style sheet does not work. Could be my end, I've never done this before.

        The templates work, but I can't get my external style sheet to work.
        What is the URL for your style sheet? (nm) — Sean Brunnock, Mon Nov 13 04:18

        It appears to be the wrong URL. I got a 404 error.

        I changed the style sheet to the URL that you gave and the changes took. It's not working for you?

        Another bug — SUZANNE, Wed Nov 15 04:34
        
        I created a "summary" simply by sizing the boxes and hiding the overflow-- crude, but it works. I removed a .gif from the prologue using the "submit changes" button, and because the style sheet text... more
