Hi Blair, Thanks for the repy.
That is sort of what I did, except I was checking for the news display page ObjectID in the sidenav if detected, setting the request.navid to what I needed....but your right, I should have tried setting it in the webskin itself. Will give that a shot. With FU, we already have the site defaulted from "/go/" to "/". The section of the site called "The Institute" is just a subsection, so I wouldn't want to make the default FU for the entire site "/the- institute/" just the news section of /the-institute (does that make sense?)
