I put up a screenshot here: http://www.urubetas/themes/beachmarine/screenshot-urubetas-problem.jpg

I have modified the bluemarine theme and everything is working beautifully, except for when you click on Create Content and select any of the choices (page, book, group, story, image). When the form loads up, the right hand column gets shoved off to the side. Now, sometimes, if I refresh the page, it snaps into place, but not always.

My first thought was that the admin boxes (which lined up 3 boxes across) were the problem. I fixed them to center so they would stack up as you see them now, in the drupal.css file.

My next thought was the message in grey. I changed that several times, even forcing it smaller (50% in width) and the column was still pushed out of whack.

The only changes in the theme template that I made was to the header table - I split it into two rows and used a colspan code of 3 across and centered the logo. I'm at a loss now. I'm no css expert, and am still learning about drupal and where to modify. This is beginning to drive me nuts. Can someone help?

I think blueish block under 'submit page' is pushing your center column out.

use FireFox and use this tool (http://chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/ )- it is a cross hair which will lets you hover over your Drupal/CS website and find the exact CSS id's and classes for any element on the page. Every block has a unique identifyer. The tool makes learning css for drupal easy.

Now, with PHPtemplate you can override CSS on individual pages, meaning you can style anything which is normally standard across pages (like the title of the page) uniquely for each page.

This is a great extension, but it didn't help me to solve the problem. It might have narrowed down the list of culprits, though.

The form itself, or possibly #main is causing the problem. When I forced a resizing of main (set width to 50%) the shifting of the right sidebar didn't happen. Of course, that just looks terrible, so I had to reset it to the way it was; no width setting.
