Well, things have evolved more since I did this. I actually had the Home page stop working entirely but got it working again by creating a new menu item and moving things around, so you can't see what I was seeing any longer. But I am having many peculiar things happen, where either the template or Joomla are not working as they should or normally do. I installed ACL manager and it didn't find asset table issues but I rebuilt the asset table anyway. I should probably open a different topic, but now I see that the home page works differently in Chrome. The module is not inset into the rotator the way it is in Firefox.
But back to my original topic. Is it possible for this module to NOT be at the top of each page if someone links to one of the links? I only saw that choice under "dynamic".
Is it possible for it to link to other articles (i.e., not in that category?) - it seems to rewrite back to those.
