My personal vote is to get a footer that has at least the bottom one because it's super important information and that's where people have become accustomed to looking for it. As for the ASF copyright and the OFBiz logo - those need to be there, but I'm not sure the footer is ever the best place for that.

Hmm - try loading it up locally with this as the default theme and see if it's the theme itself or just the JS and CSS getting confused when it switches. > > Jacques > > From: "Ryan Foster" <ryan.fos...@hotwaxmedia.com> > > I'm not sure if I would say that not having a footer is an issue. > > Most of what was in the footer has been moved and grouped more > > logically in the header.
