SugarCRM, Modules, curl, php ubuntu

When trying to use the Module Loader in SugarCRM there was this warning displayed
‘Please ensure that you have curl enabled.‘

I have SugarCRM on Ubuntu, there are different curl packages found one related to php: php5-curl

Installing this ($sudo apt-get install php5-curl) fixed this warning and gave access to the module loader.

CSS – browser page border missing

this will never be problem for people who use CSS everyday.

The scroll bar on the browsers stopped showing up on the pages I was developing and then I realized my stupid mistake:
overflow:hidden;
for the body tag which I had forgotten to remove after some testing I had done earlier.
