Hi, I'm new to CMSMS and have what I think is a CSS problem. I'm using CMSMS 1.6.8, PHP 4.4.9, MySQL 5. I think my problem is simple but can't seem to resolve it. Would be great to get some outside help.

I suspect I need to make some changes to the News Template I'm using. At present the News Template (currently the "Sample") is in it's default configuration and I'm not sure what changes to make or if this is the wrong assumption.

Thanks to all out there!
