endoftheraainbow-deactivated201 asked: hey, i really want to download your catching the elephant theme, but how do i do it? i can't find it. :)
thanks!

isac-unt asked: Hey man. Theme is awesome, truly. This question is a dumb one. I notice that all your pictures on the posts fill to the edge, with no border looking great. When I upload images to my posts, no matter the size (I've tried 2400x1300) the picture is smaller than the width of the post. Mine doesn't look like your posts. Does the image have to be uploaded a certain way or a certain size?

justincox asked: Is the theme ever going to be updated by Tumblr with support for sources like they promised a few weeks back?

michaellynton asked: Thanks for the awesome theme. Have you thought of baking in TypeKit support to the theme? I know I could go modify the code manually, still curious though.

alexbecherer asked: hi,
as the Tumblr staff has not added the attribution code to Catching Elephant yet, i tried it myself and added the following code:

{block:ContentSource}
<div class="reblogged">
<a href="{SourceURL}">
{lang:Source}:
{block:SourceLogo}
<img src="{BlackLogoURL}"...

alexbecherer asked: Thanks for the quick help.
.nav a {
font-family: Helvetica;
}
worked for the Home, Submit, et. links.
Now the only thing left are the other uppercase texts as the tags, permalink, reblogged from, etc.
Well, at least i use Opera every now and then, don't know wether anybody else does, but it is really high quality software. :)
Best regards,

alexbecherer asked: Hi!
I am using a different font for body now. This works great for Chrome and Firefox. But in Opera this font also is used for all the uppercase fonts as in the "Home", "Archive" links and the tags.
Could you help me in telling me what to put in the custom css to have these displayed in Helvetica, Arial again? Or maybe point me to the original css file of the...

disregardrecords asked: hey andy, first, thanks for an absolutely fantastic theme! i do have a question: instead of putting in a background image, i'd simply like to use a background color. i was able to remove the default image, but can't seem to put in the color i would like (#666666 / 102.102.102). i am not a coding expert so may be entering the code incorrectly. would you be able to tell me how i can do...

alexbecherer asked: Hi,
I added "Share On Facebook" next to "Tweet This" on my posts, just in case you are interested. If it would be called "FB Share" instead, there might be also enough space for the Disqus comment count.
Best regards,
Alex

alexbecherer asked: Hi,
are you planning to change the look of Pages (as here: http://www.catchingelephant.com/about ). i know it's a really a small glitch, but somehow the non-rounded border on the bottom bothers me.
thanks for the awesome theme.
Alex

familyreunicorn asked: how did you get the picture at the homepage?

phibz asked: Hi! Your theme is awesome and I've been using it for a few months.
I decided to try a different one today, regretted it and came back to yours, but my portrait picture under the blog's title doesn't appear anymore. What's up with that?!

Also, where can I find the theme you use on your Shots tumblr page?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

sinisajagarinec asked: your theme is awesome! thank you very much for sharing! :-)

dogukan asked: I wrote a short paragraph telling how cool you are and your theme in my blog.

cyprusmusings asked: Hi Andy,

I'd like to add Google ads, how can I do that between posts and on the side bar after twitter?

Thank you!

justincox asked: Will you be updating Catching Elephant with Tumblr's new attribution code?

officiousseeingeyebitch asked: Hello Andy!
I've looked at a bunch of other themes and I must say, I like yours the best!

One thing that is odd though. I noticed that the first time I tried your theme, there was a "Twitter" bar on the left side bar with my twitter messages and whatnot. But after experimenting and trying other themes, (only to end up picking yours again,) the Twitter thing and...

chilloutbruh-deactivated20111004 asked: Is there a way to change the colour of highlighted text and the glow around the boxes?

chilloutbruh-deactivated20111004 asked: Just informing: the high-res 'zoom' isn't working anymore.

kriiis asked: I was wondering... can you have the sidebar with the portrait picture/home/ask/submit/etc scroll down simultaneously with the rest of the blog? I've been trying to play around with it on your theme, but I'm not sure if it's possible. aha. Thanks in advance!

jaypii asked: Are you ok with users tweaking your theme? I ask this because i've kind of revamped your theme to fit my style. In retrospect I probably should've asked first.

beyondinfinite asked: Hi. Thank you for sharing such a great theme. I am just wondering if there is a way to put my 'Likes' on the side bar.

Small theme update

A few people noticed a problem with the Tumblr iFrame (Like, Reblog, Dashboard links) not appearing on permalink (individual post) pages. Mike Davis worked out that it was only happening if Disqus was enabled. This was only happening on the latest version of the theme that Tumblr Staff had updated for multiple language support. Not sure what happened but I replaced the Disqus embed code and the...

jessicasjunk asked: I asked this on your other tumblr -- sorry! I have a question - I've noticed when I look at an individual post on my tumblr that none of the tumblr icons show up on the upper right corner of the screen (reblog, dashboard, etc.). I haven't made any modifications to the HTML -- I'm not that smart! :) -- but I'm wondering if maybe a customization setting is interfering with it....

dogukan asked: Hello,
Your theme is great, I think you should make another one and keep it premium LOL. 9 dollars would be ok for everybody I think. Anyway...

I wonder if we can change the color of light blue glow around the tables when hovered.
Thanks.

justincox asked: I've been trying to update my usage of this amazing theme for use with infinite scroll or auto paging but cannot seem to figure it out. Any chance that could see a future update?

solikewise asked: I'm very much enjoying this theme. I apologize if this question is redundant, but with few comments in the code I thought it prudent to ask. What size can of worms do I open attempting to widen the post to 520px? The motivation is simply to have a 20px margin to the right of embedded YouTube clips. Please advise, thank you.

allensjkim asked: Hey! how do I enable "ask me anything" and "submit?"
Thanks!

manicjournal asked: Hi Andy,

I'm having a hellish time trying to change my background image. Whichever image I choose, it fails to touch the bottom of the window, leaving a grey bar behind. Also, most large images I use are for some reason made smaller after I pop the link into the HTML... I'm being a little vague but can you help? Is there a particular image hosting site you know to work for...

peterwich asked: Is it possible to make the post bar (.grid_7) wider? I tried it, but then it is positioned below the side bar because it is probably too wide for the theme. Is it possible to make the overall theme (side+postbar combined) wider, so that more of the screen is used? Is there maybe any "body-with" custom css or so, or is this a general limitation of tumbler?
Thanks for the answer!...

florianwardell asked: Hey Andy, thanks for your quick reply. It's awesome that you provide support for your theme, so thank you.

A quick update regarding the size issue: I noticed it has to do with image height, rather than width. The dashboard can only display images up to 700px in height, regardless of the original. The theme seems to display the dashboard version, rather than the original as...

manijhe asked: Hi, I've searched but haven't found the solution to the following:

Under my profile picture above home, how do I add link buttons to Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Gmail etc like this blog http://www.indieandyy.com/ ?

Thanks! LOVE your theme ;)

beautydrawsme asked: I don't have the theme yet because I'm wondering if you have to sign in to twitter for it to show up on the left or do you just give your username?

bahugala asked: Thanks for the great theme! My fiancee love it so much. We want to use it for our wedding blog.

I hope my question is a simple one, but here we go... how can I use custom HTML to center the box with the title of the blog and make it wider.? I would like it to span across both the column with the description and link as well as the column with all the posts. I hope this is possible....

silverskins asked: You have a picture of yourself on the theme itself, how do I change the picture?

sonnawabit asked: I'd like to be able to fit 6 pictures instead of 5 below the searchbar, how can I do this? Also, my news page is kinda weird, I might have done something wrong.

Thanks alot!

annieelainey-deactivated2010082 asked: First, BEAUTIFUL theme, it has been my favorite for a long time.

I hope there questions hasn't been asked before, I searched through the archive with no luck :/

Is it possible to change the body font/size? If so how? And is it possible to change the gray color of the boxes? If so how?

Thank you so much for your time :)

raiben asked: Hi! Thanks for this great theme and for answering my question. How can I delete the magnifying glass and show an image with fancybox. This is making me sick ;-)

Thank you in advance.

ntrfc0 asked: Any idea on how to get IntenseDebate commenting working? I've followed their Tumblr tutorial but it's not working. Thanks

theblessedkat asked: Hi Andy

Before you kill me, can I just say that you've made a gorgeous theme and I have been reading through questions related to the dreaded background change.

I've found the template you meant, but each time I replace the picture host URL it does not 'repeat' or cover the entire background as I would like. Have I identified the wrong URL, or...

hsouris asked: Hey, is it possible to change the "posted [x] ago" to the exact date and time of the post?

annieelainey-deactivated2010082 asked: Is there any way to hide the tags? Change the font?

moonwavves asked: My display picture just won't show on my tumblr, how do I fix this? Great theme btw

florianwardell asked: Hey Andy, awesome theme. By far the best I've seen here on Tumblr.
Just a quick question though:
I get heavy image distortion or larger images, even though they're larger or equal to 500px in width. Is there some kind of restriction on how large images can be?
Cheers!

ofoo asked: Hello. Is there a possibility to post a picture and if you click on it you'll see in full size?

rdjheaven asked: Hello! i recently switched to your theme because it works best for my page, but some of my followers have noticed that they now can't reblog or like my posts when on the website. the normal tumblr options that pop up in the right hand corner dont show up... can you help?

thomasdavies asked: Why can't I reblog from your theme?

brianhagen asked: Is there any way to remove the box that contains "blog name" (ie Section where "Catching Elephant Theme" appears in yours) and instead have the Portrait bump up to that position? I can create a custom "art" and include theme name as a JPG and use that instead is what im thinking.
