Weird overlapping text in post
 

Hey all,

I need to tap the hive mind. My forum here: http://www.gotmead.com/forum/showthr...ssues-Temp-fix is getting weird overlapping text for edit/delete, reply with quote and multi-quote.

I have no idea where in heck this is coming from. If anyone can see something I can't (my eyes are crossed from looking through code at this point), I'd love some insight.

Thanks!!

There is an extra </div> in your postbit template, just above postfoot class try removing that.

Two things to try out. One does it work on a default style with no parent. Two turn off all plugins and see if that fixes the issue. My guess is it is either a style or a mod issue.

Thanks Seven Skins, I'll try that.

Squidsk, I am using the default theme, so it might be an add on. I'll have to check it out.

Well, removed the extra </div> in both postbit and postbit legacy, and it didn't work. Disabled all mods that interact with the postbit, no change.

::sigh:: This is frustrating, I have no idea where this is coming from. On the plus side, I did manage to make a lingering advertising box disappear.

Seems like the placeholder image in the button contains an invalid URL:
As you can see, it's an absolute path. Either delete that line from the postbit or postbit_legacy or fix the image to a correct URL.

Hmm. A search of postbit and postbit legacy doesn't show that, and I searched all templates, no joy. I'll have to hunt that down somehow.

The file does exist at that location, though.

Yeah, but the path to that location is not right. It's using the absolute path, not the public_html path. It should be something like http://yoursite.com/forum/clear.gif. Absolute path is local filesystem path to the file.

Is what it looks like in the template postbit and postbit_legacy.
Go to AdminCP > Settings > Style & Language Settings > Location of clear.gif to modify the location of the clear.gif image.

Thanks Dave, that did the trick.

Now I have to figure out why the RSS feed and Subscription buttons are shoved under the thread and post count buttons here http://www.gotmead.com/forum/forum.php

And here I thought staying with the default style would help me avoid this stuff.......

Thanks for your help!

Well for the RSS feed it's because ".notices li" has a padding that has to be removed.
Not sure about the subscription button since I can't see it as a guest.

Hmm. I found this in the chrome.css file, but that is the only place it appears in my templates and styles.

.notices li {
background: {vb:stylevar notices_background};
font-size: {vb:math {vb:stylevar font.fontSize}-1}{vb:stylevar font.units};
color: {vb:stylevar body_color};
padding:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2} {vb:stylevar padding};
margin-bottom:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2};

That padding stylevar is set to 10. If I change the stylevar, it messes with all the padding on everything. Argh....this should not be so hard to find!
