In yet another feble attempt to laern DNN better, I need to figure out skinning the solpartmenues. My current issue is how to remove the breadcrumb arrows from infront of the active page. I added usearrows="false" to
< dnn:MENU runat="server" id="dnnMENU" usearrows="False" >, only to see it get erased as soon as I reparse the skin package. Attempted it without reparsing, being I was editing the ascx file in the first place, but it made no diff. What am I doing wrong?

In a somewhat related question, I need to know if its possible and how...I need the homepage menu to not show any submenus, and once inside the site, I need to add a vertical menu(separate of the main horiz menu) that has the subpages for that area...how do I do that?

Yep, that much I have done (creating 2 skins). I just didnt know how to configure the menu so it wont expand, and for the other menu to show the child pages.

Do I use userootbreadcrumbarrow="False" in the ascx dnn:menu declaration? If so, do I have to reparse the skin for it to take effect? Is there any way to declare these settings when making the initial html or xml page?

Ok, i think ive got it all figured out..thx yall :)

One more...is there a way to remove the "home" link in the menu? I find it annoying that its on the menu on the homepage. :P
