Ah hmmmm
/me looks around for the solution

^^ kinda indicated he was still looking, so i posted my version of the template change for free. i wasn't looking for funding.
if you had an arrangement between the time of his post and my response to him right after that, then that's some serious timing and i'll hand it to you. and he would have paid for YOUR solution anyway and not the free one.
topic shoulda been closed or an indicator of 'it is handled' would be nice too.
