I have backups of the files that I worked on, but this must have happened while I was logged in as admin which is why I didn't catch this problem right away. I'd hat to overwrite with an original file since I'd lose several changes then. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Anyway, here's a description of the problem ...
After applying the adjustment to make the flash promo disappear for logged in users, I noticed later in the afternoon after logging out that the message Welcome to the community! which is supposed to appear WITHIN the flash promo constraints, near the bottom, now appears above the flash promo instead. What the heck's going on here? I don't recall messing with anything that would have an effect on the welcome text and now I have no idea how to make it go back where it belongs. Any ideas anyone? Thank you.

You may have done something to the CSS.
index.css.
#indexPhotoLabel {
background:url("../images/opSplash.png") repeat-x
scroll left top transparent;
bottom:0;
height:82px;
line-height:82px;
position:absolute;
width:100%;
z-index:1;
}
If for some reason bottom:0 was removed, then it appears at the top instead of the bottom. And it does appear to be missing from your site.

Thanks, but no, I've had the bottom:0px; there all along. I'd previously changed the 82px down to only 62px because I was playing with the thought to make that strip less tall, but that's it. Well, I just changed it back to 82 instead but it made no difference. Here's what I have there now ...
#indexPhotoLabel {
height:82px;
line-height:82px;
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
width:100%;
z-index:1;
background:transparent url(../images/opSplash.png) repeat-x scroll left top;

Well. firebug is showing me this in index.css at line 92 on your site with several missing items.
#indexPhotoLabel div.sys_title, #indexPhotoLabel
div.label_thumb {
bottom:0;
color:#333333;
font-size:24px;
font-weight:bold;
letter-spacing:-0.02em;
text-shadow:0 1px 0
#FFFFFF;
}
z-index:1 is missing as well as position:absolute. But adding those moves it to the bottom, but something is still messed up. Yours also looks different then mine. Mine looks like this.
#indexPhotoLabel {
background:url("../images/opSplash.png") repeat-x
scroll left top transparent;
}
index.css
(line 2)
#indexPhotoLabel {
background:url("../images/opSplash.png")
repeat-x scroll left top transparent;
bottom:0;
height:82px;
line-height:82px;
position:absolute;
width:100%;
z-index:1;
}
Yours appears to be missing height, line-height, position and z-index

Hmmmm, maybe firebug is acting buggy ???
When I use firebug to check that section, I get exactly what you're seeing. BUT ...
The physical file itself has everything that I copied you above. The z-index and position absolute are definitely where they belong. I'm looking at it in my editor too. Okay, I just deleted the index.css from the server and re-uploaded the one that I'm looking at ... still no change.
When I look at it with firebug, z-index and position absolute do not show up AGAIN. Is this weird or what?
EDIT: I just retrieved index.css from the server and sure enough, z-index and position absolute are there! NUTS !!!

BUMP .... Anyone else ???
If all else fails I have no problem with removing that entire semi-transparent strip too.
I just need it to go away from on top of the promo flash where it is now. PLEASE ... anyone ???

Where are you editing the css? What template are you using?
you may have two index.css
One in the base directory and one in your template directory... The one in your template directory should overide the one in your base directory...

Hmmm. I thought base and uni were both templates which would permit you to use either or .. but not both?
Our D7 setup is using base and all of the changes that I've been making were in the css files for the base template. Since our D7 cache is disabled while I'm working with it I could always view the changes immediately with every refresh. No problem there. So I think that I'm safe with the files that are being edited. I just don't have any idea how that strip appeared on top of the flash promo? YES, I did make some adjustments in the base template index.css file and those adjustments worked just fine. I'm sure the key lies in the fact that whatever got messed up got messed up while I was logged in as admin ... otherwise I would have caught the problem immediately since our flash promo is only visible when you're not logged in.
Any thoughts on removing that semi-transparent strip completely? I'm stumped and I'd hate to load the original css file which would then undo several changes, as opposed to just that one.
