I'm using Advanced User module on site and tried to filter users with profile-fields (birthdays, tick-box-values etc). Problem is that module produces such a mess -html that browsers cant handle it. Basically one can't tell what box is supposed to be birthdate and what something else - text gets on top of other text (see attached image).

Once filtering is done by selectable options, mass-mailing etc seems to work fine.

What a great module, once ready to use - a must for companies, scouts, sportgoups and a like, who need regularly send stuff for site members :-)

No, that was an older patch after all - problem still exists and patch failed (naturally).

Sorry about the mess...

I've been testing with garland theme and SeaMonkey. Could this be a theme related issue? I might need your theme to test with.

Try adding the following CSS to your theme and report back to me.

#user-admin-filter label {
  text-wrap: none;
  white-space-collapse: collapse;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

That CSS -code helped for text-wrapping problem - thanks (text is not wrapping below other text anymore, instead it is now under the textfield).

There are still a few layout and usability problems using profile-fields (I've found these so far, not tested thorouhgly all possible combinations) :

1) textarea does not act like it probably is supposed to, it does not "push" items below it down, instead next items go on top / under it
- maybe it would be better to give a one-line textfield to give search phrase

2) date field value (day, month and year) is put in three lines instead of one line
- it would be nice to have GT / LT / EQUAL -operator to date values
- it would be nice to be possible to select user using only one or two values, say only user with birthdays in January or 10th of January

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have time this week to work on debugging further. I hope to find time Saturday to take a look at other profile field field types. I have to give some thought to the profile date type. I'll probably convert it to the same format as the Created and Accessed fields. You can then use strings like ``this month'' or ``next week'' [1][2].
