My forum top block overlaps

My forum top block overlaps the blocks below it without any padding. I have disable my adds in that block, that did not help and I disabled the Garage block below it it then just overlaps the forum.
I am attaching a screen shot to show you what I mean.
I am sure it is just a edit of a CSS or template but I do not know which one.

When dealing with CSS issues, it is impossible to tell what is going on from just an image. It is easier to use a tool like firebug to view the CSS and see what is happening. So, can you please supply a link and a test username/password, if needed, to see the problem.

You should throw the page into an html validator. You have this (which is bad html, but besides that...)

HTML Code:

Opened to the general public Welcome Unregistered to Tri-County

and you can see two tags opened, but you never close them. That will definitely cause issues.

Well I closed the tags, that is not something that I see when I am logged in. Still have the same issue though !!
If I am not mistaken the whole forum home page layout is pulled from the same css.
It is only the one box is there something I can add to additional CSS to fix it.
I have 3 themes and the default is the only one it happens on. sorry re checked it does happen on 2 of them .

You have more than that issue going on with the site. You need to check it with a complete default style, as a member and guest.

Create a new style with no parent:
- Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
- Parent Style: No Parent Style
- Title: Default vBulletin
- Allow User Selection: Yes
- Save

I disable the garage and it just moves down with same result

If you view it you will have to go to the bottom of the page and select it

Try disabling all your mods, and see if the issue persists.

Open your includes/config.php file and below<?php add this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
 define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

So it looks like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

I just checked your page source and you have not added the tags to close each of those tags.

You have a TON of wrong html in your page. You really need to run it through a validator and fix it (although I still suspect it is because you are missing the tags). Look at this:

HTML Code:

<a href="http://tricountycamaroswfl.com/swflforums/garage_vehicle.php?do=view_vehicle&amp;id=1"><img src="images/garage/attach/2/garage_vehicle-1-14077932961_thumb.jpg" height="100" border="0" />  

<br />

<a href="http://tricountycamaroswfl.com/swflforums/garage_vehicle.php?do=view_vehicle&amp;id=1">2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS 2SS/RS</a>

You are missing the </a> for the first <a> in there. That occurs several times in the page source.

You have a in there around the same place you are having issues (although I don't think that is the problem). And, make sure all tags are correct (that one is correct, your's are not).

You really need to at least fix the html around where the problem is before we can look into this.

From when logged in, this is totally incorrect:

HTML Code:

        <div id="content_container" class=" ">

                <div id="content" >

        

        <!-- main -->

        <li class="forumbit_nopost L1" id="cat221">

You have no beginning <ol> tag. You can't suddenly have an <li> tag without having an <ol> or <ul> tag before it.

Ok I guess I did this by accident. I am by no means a PHP coder
I forgot to take some extra code out when I created my garage block widget
I removed that code and re done the HTML and I got what I think is the correct screen all was lined up like it should with a white back ground even in IE, Chrome and Firefox. See the first screenshot ( Named Without ) I had made my header (at top transparent ) and liked that and had that look all the way thru the forum ( look at the forum now or see logged in screen shot ( WithLI) I was getting that affect because I had accidentally left <li at the end of the code I put in my forum block for a widget I made I have no idea why though lol
Is there a better way to get the look I have now with transparency all the way thru the forum home page I know what I am doing cant be right and I assure you was accidental ?

And thanks for guiding me in the right direction

I do have the code <li in the form block now below my widget code

If I look at your site right now, I see the 'transparent' look. Is that what you want or you want it to have a white background?

I don't think you want to leave this line in:

HTML Code:

<li class="forumbit_nopost L1" id="cat221">

It's listed right under this:

HTML Code:
