Hey All

I am having an issue with taxonomy_access (latest stable version) with Drupal 4.7.2.
I wish to use the taxonomy to allow certain content to be placed into an Admin term in a node type vocabulary.

I would like the taxonomy_access module to allow a certain user type (People with access rights) to be able to view these pages and not allow anonymous users to.

I would like to use this as a method of sharing "development" content with the other administrators and authenticated user so it can be viewed an edited before being made live.

I'm working on this site - poweredby.icopyright.com

FireFox:
Notice in the white content area, the text directly across from the admin menu is not selectable (nor are links clickable). Like the menu div is blocking that area.

IE:
The design totally breaks, and the menu pushes everything to right of it, UP.

I think it's this div

<div class="block block-user" id="block-user-1">

It doesn't seem to be doing anything here:

I was trying to override a module's CSS and having no luck and I finally realized it's because my theme's style.css is being loaded first, before the various modules' CSS. I searched and found this reference in an acidfree issue:

A module that calls init_theme() breaks this order.

Alright, so im very new to drupal, but I can tell its a very powerfull tool -- if i can just get over my initial first hurdles. I want to create a site with a number of different features, including user blogs, but I cant get the news section sorted.

I've created a Vocabulary called News, with terms including Politics, Sci/Tech etc.

I have created a nice shortened URL so that you can view politics through url.com/news/politics, but i can't get url.com/news to work, and show me an overview of all the latest news.

Is there anyway to get variables from url. I tried the code $_GET['q']=="news") in page.tpl.php, but that didn't work. I try to attain the way to show different banners in different sections on the site. I hope there is someone who can help me with this =)

have successfully loaded tinymce, turned on as a module , set up a profile and turned on access permissions but cant see any text editor ...am lost to know what to do ?
