Post installation

I have been trying to set up a dropdown menu in a block with links to taxonomy URLs such taxonomy/page/or/34. The menu works fine with Mozilla and Firefox but with IE it works once, then starts adding taxonomy/page/or to the url so that I end up with something like taxonomy/page/or/taxonomy/page/or/taxonomy/page/or/53 and an error in database.mysql.inc. The form includes the following select element (spaces added around the square brackets):

select name="menu" onChange="location=document.jump.menu.options [ document.jump.menu.selectedIndex ] .value;" value="GO"

I need to set the order of items that show within a taxonomy term area. I am using taxonomy_menu module with drupal 4.3.2.

When a taxonomy 'term' is clicked I see the items (nodes?) that are associated with that term but they seem to show in most recent order. I want to be able to order them independent of chronological sequence. I would rather not have to put letters or numbers on the items within a term, but is there a way to use the 'weight' system at the level of files/stories/posts within a term?

I've just migrated to Drupal from MT. I typed my first entry (using HTML tags as needed) and found that I have an extra P tag at the beginning and end of my post. Where do I turn off this auto-formatting? I'm using the Marvin theme, if that could be part of the problem. Thanks!

Hi
What is the easiest way to display the current taxonomy term at the top of the box content - i.e. where the breadcrumb usually displays. I simply need the term displayed - I will be using this in combination with the 'Menus' module so that when a user clicks on a term under a vocab (in a menu block) it will list all the latest nodes under that term - however I would like the actual term to be written to the top of the page where the breadcrumb usually is.

What PHP code would I need to do this, and in what script should I put it?

Thanks!

Is it a way to set custom blocks selected by default? I mean, blocks that users can deselect in their account settings.

Now it works (only?) the other way round: custom blocks are not selected by default and users willing to activate them can select them in their account settings.

The problem is that many users won't check their account settings nor will play with available blocks, so many features aren't known by non-experienced or non-curious users.

Any idea? Thanks.

Well, actually, they are, and I want them to stop. Where can I turn this setting off at? As admin, I have the option when I post it, but a user doesn't, and I want it set 'off' as the default (the promote to home page option)

Where can I find this setting at?
