I am setting up a news site for a .org and have chosen, for the time being, to use the latest AMS as the news handling module. The AMS page is also set to be the default start page. The thing is that, for the life of me, I cannot get the damn thing to display the "ladder" of news stories under the other blocks. It wants to keep the stories above them, which really messes with my idea of how these things are supposed to look.

Anyone willing to slap a little sense into me? I am sure I have been working at this website admin stuff for far too long today, on far too many sites and I am experiencing cerebral vapor lock.

I could be wrong, but this sounds like a function of your theme. If you feel like posting a link I'll take a look.

I agree that this sounds more like a theme issue. I looked at the website in your profile Tandy, but it doesn't seem to be using AMS. If you can give us a link that will really help as we'll be able to see what you are talking about rather than just trying to imagine it.

I don't know what you mean, perhaps you are monkeying now?

PS your throwing:

You are not wrong: it's the theme. Shoot. Back to the drawing board.

I suck at theme hacking. I redefine the word "suck". Guess I have to find another theme.

On edit: That is one classy looking theme too. Just nailed our needs, without going for the big guns: Goran.

Anyone seen that boy lately? He's impossible to get in touch with, and I have another client interested in his work. In fact, perhaps 3 clients.

I think I need to learn to type a bit quicker . Starting to think it might be a setup issue as the display looks fine (to me at least).

Want me to setup an admin ID so you can take a look in the backend?

Now remember: You break it and I break you...
