Adam or Steve... I looked through the css and I see where the breakpoints are mentioned but I couldn't make out the fixednav properties that are changing at the breakpoints. You wouldn't care to post that section of the css ?
Cheers.

Just to be clear... I want to keep the Nova template navigation fixed at all widths. As it is, it changes to relative positioning below 979 pixels. I've edited all the references to relative and fixed positioning that I could find in each of the css files with no luck. Is this part of the default code in the bootstrap css and buried in some very cryptic lingo ? I tweaked in there and barely got out alive.

OK... after reading a lot of discussion about it... it seems that a fixed nav at mobile width is not written into Bootstrap 2 because it is broken on some devices and not recommended. There are some jQuery work arounds and I believe Bootstrap 3 will offer it.... but I'll probably leave well enough alone, keep my pages shorter and add a menu at the bottom -at least on mobile widths.
