Post installation

Is there a straightforward way to reposition the "help" or "description" text that is routinely displayed *after* a field on a form so that it appears directly below the field title?

I have read a couple of posts that might be related to this, but didn't seem to help me with my problem.

I am running drupal 4.6 and on IE, when a user is logged in, the last node on all blog listing pages is broken and the "previous 1 2 3 ... next" paging links are duplicated.

This doesn't happen on any other browser but IE. Also, I have looked at the rendered HTML and in all browsers the content appears only once. But in IE the last part of the last node and the paging links are duplicated. The formatting doesn't break when users are logged out.

Is it possible to implement a message that prints something like "Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required" once per page on pages where required fields exist? I can't seem to figure it out or find directions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. I searched the forum a little bit and it seems some people have had the same question I do, but I didn't see any solutions posted.

My question is, how can I set a block that I've made display in the content section to be displayed above all page contents instead of below them? The block is my little welcome block that I only want shown on my front page. Of course, it's more natural if it is displayed at the top of the page, not at the bottom.

At this point, I am convinced I have been doing something wrong in installing new modules, because none of them have worked properly. I think the mistake lies in how where the files are placed. Take for example node_style. I downloaded the correct version, untarred/gzipped it, and placed the folder node_style into the modules folder so that my file hierarchy was as follows:

I am trying to get my first Drupal installing up and running. I am using the survey module and I was disappointed to find out that when you chose File as a question type, it doesn't actually upload a file; it only saves the name of the file. So, I decided to make an enhancement to the survey module to have it upload the file. I was going to use the default Upload module. My problem is that no matter what I do, I can't get the upload to save. It returns a 0 every time, which just tells me the upload fails. Here is my code.

if (strcmp($field->type,'file')==0){
