Short posts cause user info to leak out the bottom of the box

Same problem here... great module btw :):)

I'm also having this problem but I have one more layout bug in Firefox only, look at screenshots:

This is a bug in the CSS because it can't deal with short posts. But I have no clue how to fix it. Everything I try makes it worse. I only know enough CSS to get by so unless someone with a clue steps up, this is going to be broken, I'm afraid.

Here is my fix:

In forum-thread.tpl.php you will find this piece of code in the bottom of the file:

    <div class="links">
    <?php print $links ?>
  </div>
  
  </div>
  <span class="clear"></span>
  
  
  
</div>

Replace the line <span class="clear"></span> with <div class="clear"></div>

Now open file advanced_forum.css and add this code in the bottom:

.clear {
	clear: both;
}

*UPDATE*

Here is my fix:

In forum-thread.tpl.php find every line <span class="clear"></span> and replace it with <div class="clear"></div>

Now open file advanced_forum.css and add this code in the bottom:

.clear {
	clear: both;
}

Ok, I changed the spans to divs. The CSS was already there. Seems to work so I committed it. Thanks!

Also if somebody else has the same bug I did (http://uploads.screenshot-program.com/my.php?image=upl2648146615.png) here is solution for that.

In file forum-display.tpl.php find the line
40: $output .= '<span class="clear"></span>';

Cut it and paste it after this piece of code:

<?php
      else if ($user->uid) {
        $output .= t('You are not allowed to post a new forum topic');
      }
      else {
        $output .= '<div id="newtopiclink" class="cssbutton">';
        $output .= t('<a href="@login">Login to post a new forum topic</a>', array('@login' => url('user/login', drupal_get_destination()))) ;
        $output .= '</div>';
      }
      $output .= '<span class="clear"></span>';  // <= paste it here
?>

Ignore the <?php and ?> in the code above, I just added it so the code gets coloured

Thanks, democron. I had it partially fixed in the commit I did this morning but didn't realize that the "post" button fell into the header when there was no pager. The fix was a bit more complex than what you have there but seems to be working. Hopefully that's good enough for now. I hate to invest too much time into files that are going to be radically changing soon.

lainwired, can you elaborate your fix? I tried it the way democron shows, but it doesnt have any effect on my particular theme. Where did you add the code youre speaking of?
