Weird overlapping text in post

[meadwench]

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.

[meadwench]

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:

<img id="quoteimg_243467" src="/home/meadwenc/public_html/forum/clear.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" title="Reply With Quote">

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.

[meadwench]

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.

[Dave]

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.

<img id="quoteimg_{vb:raw post.postid}" src="{vb:raw vboptions.cleargifurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase reply_with_quote}" />

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!

[Dave]

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.

[meadwench]

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!
