Please point me in the right direction

[OldSchoolDSL]

OK, so I've had this small graphical error since I've upgraded to vBulletin 4.1 PL2. I thought it was maybe a Mods issue, so I disabled everything. When that didn't work, I even disable the "hook system".... Which still didn't correct this. So finally I reverted everything on the theme (style).... Still no luck.

This small "bug" only shows up on vBulletin Blogs and only on the replied comments. But thankfully does not affect the comments themselves though (just the little bar above them). So where would I manually edit this?

Added more detail into another screen shot. Seems a few here did not notice or did not understand what I was trying to point out.

Any and all help would be very welcomed (Please & Thank you)

That looks like a bug. You should look to see if it is already in the bug tracker on vbulletin.com, and if not, then enter it.

Their bug track... I do not understand. Get lost in the dam thing

(reading from some post, I'm not the only one who gets lost in their bug tracker).

If this was a vBulletin bug... I'm thinking others would have asked this by now. But I'll see what else I can turn up.

Thanks for your impute.

Looks like padding is set to high for a class.

View page source and locate the code for the comment part.

Find the exact class for the part thats out of whack, try adding a margin-left:50px; or try lowering padding.

View it on another style, if its fine then its a style issue, in which case the above may fix it.

I suggested checking the bug tracker to see if it's already been entered because I can see the same issue on my default style for 4.1. If you don't want to check the bug tracker, then at least search over on vb.com to see if there is a thread about this already.

I did a search in the bug tracker and found nothing. So I submitted this as a bug. My report was closed within about 5 minutes....

Why?

Answer:

They linked my report as a double report... ie... Already posted. Turns out about 5+ others had reported this before me. Oddly enough though, I didn't originally find them when doing my search.

Thank you for your help Lynne. At least now I know I'm not the only one.

This "bug" was affecting the system default theme. As I use the system default theme as the parent theme for my other 19 themes .... It's been affecting all of them.

For others, here was the proposed fix in the bug report - http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-10487 :

Proposed fix (if you can try it... )
Open the ./includes/xml/cssrollup_vbblog.xml file and replace this:

<template>attachment.css</template>
<template>blog.css</template>
<template>lightbox.css</template>
<template>postbit-lite.css</template>

By this:

<template>postbit-lite.css</template>
<template>blog.css</template>
<template>lightbox.css</template>
<template>attachment.css</template>

After this change, rebuild directly all styles to apply the fix. I tried and it fixes it for me.
Cause: the order in the BLOG template and in the cssrollup_vbblog.xml file about CSS template name is not the same.

Thought I'd update everyone....

While this does fix the original error. It adds a small bug.

Smile code does not always work on blog comments, unless someone quotes someone else or if you are the 1st to comment.

(example... here I just quoted myself and thus any smiles I wanted would work. But if I did not quote someone, it may not work. This affects of course only the blog comments)
