  I am using AT-Dezina_Trinidad AutoTheme theme for my site. I was looking at the theme.html file and noticed a couple of things I didn't quite understand. I am hoping some one can help me out with them.
  
  After the logo code comes the following:
  
  

  Code

  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="99%" border="0" align="center" bgcolor="#ffffff">
  <tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff" valign="top">
  <!-- [left-blocks] -->
  </td>
  <td valign="top"><img src="{image-path}pix.gif" width="10" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td>
  <td width="100%" valign="top">
  <!-- [public-messages] -->
  <!-- [admin-messages] -->
  <!-- [center-blocks] -->
  <!-- [modules] -->
  </td>
  <td><img src="{image-path}pix.gif" width="10" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td><td valign="top">
  <!-- [right-blocks] -->
  </td>
  </tr>
  </table>

  
  
  Questions:
  1. What are 'public-messages'? On my site the first left block is the menu.
  
  2. What are 'modules' as referenced here? On my site I see the news.
  
  3. I notice that right blocks show on the home (index) page. They do not show when going to my forums area (PNphpBB2). In other words, the forum takes up the center and right sides of the page. This is as I like it, but I am wondering how this is accomplished. I see no indication of such in the above theme.html code.
  
  Thanks for any help with these...

  I actually can't recall any purpose for public messages. I don't use it in my themes. The admin-messages tag is for PHP-nuke.
  
  The rightblocks display is controlled in the at control panel. It sounds like its defaulted off everywhere but the homepage. This is how most folks want it.
  
  The modules tag display the ouput of the module. Its news on your home page cause thenews module is assigned in admin/settings. When you click on forums or members or whatever, then it changes to the output for those modules.

  Hi Warrick, thanks for the quick reply!
  
  So I can safely delete public messages and admin-messages in my theme?
  On my home page, admin messages show at the top of the center column, followed by the news.

  Yes, it is how I like it as well. I will play around with the AT control panel a bit more.
  
  Thanks again!

  I wouldn't delete them - they are harmless.

  Oops... already did! Doesn't adversely effect the site, other than it appears to load a bit faster.
  I'm really new to Postnuke and AT, so not sure... could they be there because the theme was 'ported' from a nuke theme?
  
  Anyway, having fun playing and learning!
