I test with firefox and I.E.

But, I use this modification in additional.css:

.postbit .userinfo_extra dl dt {clear: both;}
.postbit .userinfo_extra dl dd  {float: left;}
.postbit .userinfo .userinfo_extra dl, .postbit .userinfo_noavatar .userinfo_extra dl {width: 200px;}

I don't know it this code, its possible the cause.

Try this...

1. Find in template af_firstpost

<div class="postdetails_noavatar" style="float: right; width: 170px;">
		<div class="userinfo<vb:if condition="!$show['avatar']">_noavatar</vb:if>">
			<div class="contact" style="width: 170px;">

2. Replace with

<div class="postdetails_noavatar" style="float: right; width: 220px;">
		<div class="userinfo<vb:if condition="!$show['avatar']">_noavatar</vb:if>">
			<div class="contact" style="width: 220px;">

When I had installed 4.0.3, I got redirected to the article category when I clicked on a category on forumhome.

After upgrading to 4.1.0, I see only the "normal forum view" when I click on a article category on forumhome...

Can somebody help me?
