Description
There is a break in the sidebar graphic when I expand the menus on my site. If you check out http://www.HordeArmy.com you will see what I am talking about. If the menus are collapsed, the sidebar graphic is fine. If they are expanded, the graphic starts breaking (a gap forms) near the top, and the gap expands as more menus are expanded.
Is there something that I can do about this? I love the theme, but this little detail has been nagging at me, so if I can change something and get it working, I'll make the change.
Thanks!

Sorry, I am at a loss to offer a solution.
This may sound lame but... if you re-arraign your blocks (weight) does the problem go away?
#2
Tested this and no, the problem is still there.
It seems like the sidebar_bottom.jpg image is simply not long enough, but, when I increase it's height to double what it is, there is no change.
Thanks.
#3
If I change the status to "postponed", will the problem go away?

Recommended fix: make the sidebar background graphic three parts instead of two, so the middle part can repeat as much as needed to fit the height of the sidebar.
#5
With the release of 5.x-1.7 I have *hopefully* fixed the sidebar graphic breakage.
Solution = increased the length/height of sidebar_top.jpg
