I do prefer the forums, for the sole reason that the answers here might help other users as well, yet of course I respond to all support requests regardless of where they were posted ;)
Since I first saw your questions on the theme discussion thread on ThemeForest, I left my replies there as well.
Don’t worry about the static headers. If it needs editing the PHP files don’t worry. I’ll find a great way using featured images. (already have some ideas :D).
As for the text before the middle menu, your fix worked perfectly. Thank you very much!
And last but not least, using full URLs (http) worked perfectly. Thank you very much!
