If you are using 1.3.8a, you might want to try a different template. There are some good ones in the mods but, I'd look for 1.3.8 temps as a starter.

You can also find some good alternatives at http://(sorry, site offline)/138/index.php

Might want to look at something like on of the Sophy listings. TruBlu is there but don't know if it is a newer version or not.
