Can you pls email me the URL for the site please and preferably a temporary login to your site through my ThemeForest profile page http://themeforest.net/user/livemesh (bottom right box). I can suggest a quick fix for you by looking at what exactly is happening. Probably there is a Javascript error which is causing this issue or the layout is not right.
If you have not loaded the sample data, I suggest you do the same to speed up the site building. Pls indicate the modules you are referring to, if possible. Was not sure which carousel you were referring to. Thank you.
