Hi, it's the 'submit' button http://www.medic.chalmers.se/~jmo/ep2005/content.html just create something in a workspace and publish it in one of the sections. That's the "normal" workflow. >>>The second one is that the banner ad alternates between the Strakt banner >>>and one which is a box saying "Full banner".

I can remove it but it won't make it easier for visitors to get in contact with the organisers. regards /JM _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
