Ok first of all this is a beautiful theme with an insane amount of potential. However rather than do as I've been doing posting in older posts and putting several questions in it I'm just going to state them all here.
First of all I've customized nearly every popular commercial theme out there so I'm not some new hand to this but I'm running into some issues that are driving me nuts.
1. The container is the entire length of the blog leaving no way for you to be able to separate your header from your blog with background images without having to create your own div wrapper type container. This would be fine except attempting to do this has proven to be a big pain as for reason it works just fine on SOME pages but on others it does not at all.
For example on the homepage which is using the default blog set up the wrapper background image does not show up at all on the blog, however it does just fine on the no sidebar template and the thumbnail template page, category pages and even single.php. Even firebug will not register the wrapper on the index but does just fine on the other pages. For reference I included the div id wrapper under the header in header.php and put the closing div tag on index.php right before the call to the sidebar.
2. I'm using the topart child theme with which to build this theme. However, the footer is broken and way to the left the index home page but sits just perfect on the other pages once I specified the width because it was 1327px wide in the default bf theme on the index fresh install as noted through firebug. Why is this? I don't understand why it would sit correctly on one page and not another.
3. margins are a pain in the butt..
I cannot find the css for these div classes anywhere
post thumb page-thumb
post page nosidebar
When I change the margins for #content it will change it on the homepage blog layout but not on any of the pages.. When I add in a width variable and attempt to put in margins and paddings of even 1px the content breaks.. If I put the blog bigger via the theme options the thumbnails and page content extend to the entire width. The margin one one page will register and not so much on another.. Could anything be this maddening?
The navigation is fine on every page but I open the page with the gallery and the header and footer no longer sit flush. Isn't it all the same code? I don't know because I cant find the css for the page templates.
4. The only way a thumbnail will show up is if I place the url as wp-content/uploads/2010/01/image.jpg rather than the full url. You indicated it should not be this way and I agree.. but.. it is.
5. Speaking of default images. I placed a default image on a post to see how it looked decided I did not like it for what I'm doing and removed it, re saved the post. Now I have a giant red x where the image once was despite the fact I deleted the custom field it created. Any ideas?
Im spinning my wheels here code blind. These seem like the dumbest things for me to be caught up on..

The only thing I have changed in the pages is this in header.php
<!-- end #header -->
<div id="wrapper">
<?php bf_belowheader(); ?>
and in index.php added the closing div tag just before end content
</div>
<!-- end #content -->
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 800px;
background: transparent;
padding: 0px 50px;
}
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
background: #242223 url(images/body5.png);
padding: 0px 0px;
}
PS. If i place even 1px of padding in the wrapper the thumbnails break :(
I can't help but think somewhere I screwed something up and for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
