I’ll check that out, thanks.

The power of Cbox is limitless! I’m starting to like it a lot.

Best regards,

Not sure if I understand you correctly about “hover items” inside the header but this might help:

Is there some code for bringing it back?
Thanks

Just one request: an option to adjust the opacity of the slider caption bar.

Thanks,

I’ve deactivated all plugins and upgraded the theme, still the problem persists. I’ve left it in debug mode.

The strange thing is I have two other sites using the same theme and plugins. I get the broken homepage with them too if I upgrade the theme. I haven’t tried disabling the plugins as yet. Would you advise me not to upgrade to avoid this problem?

All is fine in Firefox.

Attached screen captures are from the Cbox demo site, so it rules out CSS being an issue just on my site.

Is it possible to change the hierarchy of groups (not referring to subgroups)?  I want an “Introductions” group on top, but adding new groups pushes it down the list.
