Though you can style it if you want, at least in Opera on the Mac.
Actually, you can in a bunch of browsers now -- it's just been so long since I've tried that my head was still in "you're stuck with the default" mode. Duh. More css to play with!
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

.breadcrumbs {background: none;}
I tried that, and it didn't work. I put it right underneath the other codes that started with periods. I still see the yellow box.
You might need to refresh a few times for it to take.
I'm using
.breadcrumbs { display: none; }
and I'm quite happy.
Try background-color: white;
, PC. Scola's is better if you want to lose breadcrumbs entirely, not just the background.
Or
background-color: #whateveryourbackgroundcolorisfor those who have non-white pages.
t /wishes for display:none for this week
Actually, background-color:none
should work just fine.
I've decided that the breadcrumbs on the left are distracting and have moved them back to just above the other navigation elements. In case anyone was still following along.

True! It looks fine now.
Couple of questions:
1) Is there a way to get rid of the white box background behind the Message Center logo?
2) Is there a way to change the color of the red bar that highlights "Discussion Threads", "Site Admin", etc?
I've been perusing the CSS that was posted ages ago, so we could make our own changes and while I've been able to figure out a few of them (hello a:hover!), there's still some that I'm not able to parse out. I've picked up an instruction book for CSS, but it's slow going. Help?
1) Is there a way to get rid of the white box background behind the Message Center logo?
The background on the image is white, not transparent, so it would have to be replaced with a whole new image -- I remember but am too lazy to Nilly right now that it didn't look right when either Jon or ita tried a transparent version?
Anyway, +1 to the request.
2) Is there a way to change the color of the red bar that highlights "Discussion Threads", "Site Admin", etc?
If I'm reading it right, that's under .section-header. So you'd do
.section-header {background-color:#123456;}
with the color code of your choice. (Do you need a reference for colors? Or is that covered in your book?)
