Description
Greetings: I was just updating one website that was still running my own custom fork of this module to the production version of the D5 version of this module.
The weblinks ended up beneath the lowest content in the left/right sidebars until I removed the "clear: both;" from the .weblinkCat class. Line 74 of the CSS file.
Just feedback that I will need to customize builds of weblinks in that way, unless you can live without that bit of CSS.

Hmm, I don't have that problem (Garland or Bluemarine), so it may be your theme. I think that parameter is there for when someone asked about theming the links in multiple columns, so there should be no problem removing it. We are not updating the 5.x branch any more.

Our theme that was affected uses tables to outline the main three column structure. We have had trouble with Drupal modules and "clear both" with such themes. However, I am not interested in ripping the use of tables out of the theme in question.
Glad to hear that you do not think my commenting it would adversely effect anything. Thanks!

Bluemarine is a tabled theme, and I didn't have any trouble with it. I've never had problems with clear on table themes, but mismatched table tags can really screw it up.
