Title: RC4 themes used with RC5.

If you have an RC4 theme and have upgraded to RC5, then when using sidebar menus in admin/profile/etc you may get this problem:

To fix this, make the following change to index.css:

Find:

Code Select

#main_admsection
{
	margin-left: 172px;
}

Replace:

Code Select

#main_admsection
{
	margin-left: 172px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

This should work for all themes that are based on the default. :)

If you are too lazy to find the #main_admsection code, you can just add the replace code to the end of the file and it will still work.
