Theme development

I'm currently creating a theme, and wish to have the avatars/pictures not appear in the polls. Is there a simple way to do this in the css file?

Thank you in advance for your help!!

I am attempting to change the string for the privatemsg module link for one type of node only. Currently the module includes a function which checks if the item is a node or comment (via variable "$type").

I, however, am trying to change it so that it is different for forum objects and nothing else.

I attempted to add a key to the array value by modifying the actual privatemsg.module ( see code )

If i define a new menu structure with menu.module - is it possible to access this from a phptemplate?

I wish to render the menu in a special way in HTML so need access to the structure - whatever form it comes as.

I'm not too strong in PHP, so I'm sure this is just a coding error on my part. I'm trying to have my forum nodes mimick the module nodes in layout and design. I've already done a bit of tweaking on the comment module and I'd like it to apply to forum nodes as well.

In my node.tpl.php I attempted to include an "if/then" statement, but I can't seem to get the syntax right.

I have something like this:

getting this msg: warning: Missing argument 3 for theme_menu_local_task() in /home/jwilde/public_html/ideascape/includes/menu.inc on line 696. each time I open a page with tabs on the node, eg, access control with the three tabs - permissions, roles, access rules. Any ideas? www.advancinginsights.com

I'm having CSS issues with Internet Explorer and using CSS to set the textarea to 95%. It looks pretty without text, but as soon as you type it expands beyond its set area.

I've tested this with the drupal site, and ofcourse it works great. I just wondered what trick you used, or what pit I've falled into.
