 * Hello…
 * I have sub menu items in the header navigation. However, when I hover my cursor
   over an item in the main nav and move down to the sub menu item, the sub menu
   disappears. I surmise there is a space between the parent menu block and the 
   sub menu block.
 * This has been tested in IE 11 and FireFox 39.

 * For those having the same issue and don’t want to mess up the main CSS, you can
   create a child theme and add the following:
 * .main-navigation ul ul {
    margin-top: -1px; }
 * Child themes are a great way to insert your own CSS without editing the main 
   theme’s css. You can download a plugin that will help you with this called “Orbisius
   Child Theme Creator”.

 * Hi,
 * I have done an update to the premium version of this theme available immediately
   that will fix this issue. The update to the free version will still need to be
   reviewed and may take some time to become available but in the mean time you 
   can update styles.css to fix this on line 528:
 * .main-navigation ul ul {
    box-shadow: 0 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); background-
   color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.95); border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0; float: left;
   position: absolute; top: 57px; left: -999em; z-index: 99999; }
 * Hope this helps!
