I understand that such lot of code needs its time to check.

Which parts you mean exactly?

mhh. I think you mean the big indents.. its a editor setting  will
correct that for future commits..
The other code is not my fault..

I agree its a messy code with the use of indents to print a indented
html-source.
which is not really needed.

I enabled it only for the ssl-interface, to be sure when something
will be going wrong,
its happends only in the ssl-section (admin-interface)
but not in maybe affect other installed addons which use non-ssl connections.

ok

?? You mean "function refreshInetInfo()" its both the same in ipfire-
and maniac-theme
and needed to change the bandwidth ??

thats caused by the different way the sidebar and header is positioned,
I didn't wanted to change the whole themes-code, just to fix the
header margin...

> Why don't you use your @ipfire.org email address?

It's the easiest way at moment to use gmail(-webfrontend) cause most
of the time i'm at work
and develope there and didn't add the account to my gmail prefs.
Will fix that in near future.
