Have you read the announcement? It explains the Multiple Site Manager there. =)

Oh lisa, you’re so cute 😉
No ofcourse i understand that the MSM is an extra. I have allready the MSM, but when i have 2 sites, there should appear a drop down menu with that 2 sites (just as on the publish tab) but there is only a page where i go with the 2 sites, not a drop downmenu.
Maybe there is a setting that i have to turn to “Show sites as a drop down menu” instead of a new page.

Found!!
Admin › System Preferences › Control Panel Settings
I have to put him on Click.. But the Hover function seems not to work in IE6/XP
Hover is the way that if i’m hanging above the site/publish tab, there should apear the dropdown box isn’t it?

Did you go through the version update notes and update your control panel themes?

Sorry pctje, I should know better - but crazier things have happened. =)

Yes Derek. I upload the complete controlpanel theme folder. Is that enough?

Yes, if you completely replaced cp_themes, it is. ::sigh:: Stupid IE.

Yeah, IE gives us (read: you) everytime such nice (uch uch) ‘bugs’.
There are some more… I collect them and make it a post on the bugforum.

pctje, did you make sure to choose the default CP theme for yourself? I was using Jesse’s theme before, and the CP just looked funny.
Changing to the default theme fixed it.

I always used the ‘classic’ theme, never used Jesse’s theme before, so that couldn’t be the problem i think so

OK, did a test on VISTA/IE7, there works it fine..
XP/IE6 doesn’t work fine…
