Hi Savatage!

Try something like this... add it to a Free Form Text/HTML widget (in HTML mode) somewhere on the page or into the Header or Footer HTML

<style type="text/css">
#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00_pnlUpdateShoutAdd {
 overflow-x : hidden;
 overflow-y : scroll;
 height: 490px;
}
.gpWidget-shout {
 overflow: hidden;
}
#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00_hlShoutsRss img {
 padding-top: 10px;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
 var newsTab = 'Guild.aspx?GuildID=342354&amp;TabID=3172450&amp;Action=ListRss';
 $('#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ctl00_hlShoutsRss').attr('href',newsTab);
});
</script>

I added a script which replaces the RSS link URL to point to your News page... the portion in red makes the RSS feed widget show it's list, but I couldn't get that to work because it was taking me back to the home page for some reason.

Mottie,

Well that didn't seem to work...

But it did make me think, I have the same CSS for the Shout Widget and the Available RSS Widget, which is my lame attempt at making it look right when it is forced to the top of the page, which in return pushes everything else down. Is there a simple way of saying if the Available RSS Widget is introduced to a page it just simply replaces the Shout Widget for the time being. Then nothing would change on my site except the 1st content box which would be pretty slick.

My CSS for the 2 Widgets:

.gpWidget-availablerss { width: 340px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 70px; margin-top: 70px; }
.gpWidget-shout { width: 340px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 70px; margin-top: 70px; }

My CSS that follows looks like this, so you can see how it all gets moved around once the Available RSS Widget takes the lead:

.gpWidget-raidpoints { width: 350px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 480px; margin-top: -540px; }
.gpWidget-progression { width: 340px; height: 250px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 890px; margin-top: -540px; }
.gpWidget-freeform { width: 340px; height: 290px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 890px; margin-top: 0px; }
.gpWidget-welcomelrg { width: 1150px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 80px; }
.gpWidget-forumslrg { width: 1150px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 80px; }
.gpWidget-votinglrg { width: 1150px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 80px; }
.gpWidget-calendar { width: 1150px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 80px; }
.gpWidget-rosterlrg { width: 1150px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 80px; }
.gpWidget-mailcenterlrg { width: 1150px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 80px; }
.gpWidget-newslrg { width: 340px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 80px; }
.gpWidget-rssfeed { width: 750px; height: 540px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 480px; margin-top: -540px; }
.gpWidget-top5members { width: 340px; height: 300px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 90px; }
.gpWidget-wholrg { width: 340px; height: 240px; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; margin-left: 80px; margin-top: 0px; }

This is my novice attempt at getting placement exact on the page, but it does seem to be working great minus the one RSS detail.

Your help is greatly appreciated as always.

As for the background, I'm such a attention to detail kind of person I just can't degrade the image that far. It actaully was compressed to 60% from it's orginal format already, I played with the percentages a bunch before I decided on that as the best of the worst. I did figure that once the page has it downloaded it doesn't have to do it again and leaves me room for the SWF's I want to sprinkle on the top vs. not having the wallpaper as it is and adding the size to the SWF's.

I keep trying to learn and figure out a little each day, your help site has been extremely useful.
