Extra divs around left side menu

I am having an issue where certain skins create extra divs around the left side "subpages" menu.  If my current page does not have subpages and there is no left side menu, the extra divs get created anyway, they are just not surrounding anything.

For example, my home page does not have subpages so there is no left side menu, however there are top and bottom outline divs above the left side content.  I have another page that has subpages, so there is a left side menu for the subpages.  The menu is wrapped in its normal top and bottom div, and then the  whole thing is wrapped in another set of top and bottom divs.

I am using version 2.3.1.7, however I have had this problem for the last few releases.  I am trying to compare skin/css files for skins that have the issue and ones that don't, but I have not yet had any luck.  I thought I would post here, to see if anyone could offer assistance.

As examples:

Some skins that create the issue: graformix-company, dcarter-bluedesert, mitchison-earthy-alt1

Some skins that do not creat the issue: mmcgee-uncreativesuite, styleshout-citrusisland

Maybe I'm just missing it, but thank you for any help.

Re: Extra divs around left side menu

Hi,

During upgrades, the skins at /Data/skins are replaced with new versions but the ones used by the site at /Data/Sites/1/skins are not updated. You can copy them from /Data/skins to/Data/Sites/1/skins to get the new versions in your site.

I believe in some older skins we were wrapping CornerRounders around the left side menu but later we moved these into the menu itself so that they are not displayed if the menu is not displayed. You can probablyfix this by editing the layout.master file of your skin and removing the <CornerRounderTop and CornerRounderBottom controls that wrap the menu.

Hope it helps,

Joe
