The complete code for the new default.ascx skin is provided in the code bundle: (available from here)
<community:SectionMenu CssClass="SectionMenu" Runat="server"
id="SectionMenu1" />
<community:UserLogin CssClass="UserLogin" Runat="server" id="UserLogin1" />
<asp:PlaceHolder id="Content" Runat="Server" /> <asp:Placeholder id="Footer" Runat="Server" />
