Changes to DNN Default Templates 

I found out today that the DotNetNuke 4.5 distribution provided an updated skin file for the DNN-Blue and DNN-Gray skins.  This modification to the skin will break the auto fill features of the skin and will cause the left and right panes to display on ALL pages regardless of the panes that contain content.

This was pointed out to me in the DotNetNuke forums as a response to an inquiry you can find this post at the following link www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/mid/2108/threadid/124604/scope/posts/Default.aspx#125230

To fix this you will need to modify the skins provided in the DNN upgrade package and remove the following section of code, this is listed at the VERY bottom of the page layout table.

  <TR valign="top">
    <TD valign="top" align="center"><img src="spacer.gif" height="1" width="150"></TD>
    <TD valign="top" align="center"></TD>
    <TD valign="top" align="center"><img src="spacer.gif" height="1" width="150"></TD>
  </TR>

If you remove the offending piece of code you will then be able to restore the previous functionality of the skin.  If you have not yet upgraded to 4.5.0 and use one of these skins, you can avoid making this change by omitting the copying of the updated skin files.
