Please be more specific, using "sucks" is not helpful. Just using a particular class as template is not a valid reason imho.

This bug tracks all the issues in legacy skins. Or at least the ones I was able to find and pinpoint the problem - the four bugs currently here are caused by the lack of usage of standard navigation menus.
