Is it possible in Drupal to change a block of links based on the section your in. For instance, each section has it's own multiple terms that have content inside of them. I need a way for the user to see all of these different sections without showing them on every single page.

I have spreadfirefox theme, drupal 4.6.3, php 5.0.4.
Once logged in, the top part of the navigation block where the username is displayed sticks out left and right of the rest of the block. i am familiar with css, but i have tried changing numerous things and can't figure it out. anyone else had this same problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

What's the simplest way to implement a colour scheme for themes? I'm using the box_grey theme because it (initially) was much easier to achieve what I wanted withouth having to worry about graphocs.

But now it's a tad boring.

So I want to spruce it up. But from what little I know about CSS files you cant used named constants in there can you? The problem is it's a pain in the bum when you have to modify all of one colour for a particular set of elements, but not the same colour when it appears in another element.

How do I modify pages like the frontpage, and pages like this (http://www.skipproductions.com/?q=taxonomy/term/2) to hide and show item headings like where it says Body: as well as the author, category, and read more links? I think I remember reading that this has to be done in the template, if so then where in the template I'm at a loss.

does anybody how i can create a form that will create a node for me? I need to have very specific input from users that in turn will create a static node with the information i get from the form.

I have a Drupal site that started to bog down badly recently. I found menu.inc was timing out. I looked that the menu table in the database and I see hundreds and hundreds (sorry for the vague count) menu items like this:

Edit Delete 612 1 node content 0 16

There are 1281 menu records and most of them are of this type, identical except for the MID.

What are they and are they the cause of my problem?
