There is a css problem with firefox3. There is a lot of empty space at the top of the text.
There is no problem with internet exprorer. I've attached screen shots of ie6 and firefox3 with the same forum page as an example (http://www.thelug.gr/main/?q=node/413).
I also attached my theme's css file (my theme is "abessive") and my advanced forum style css files (both 2 css files - my style theme is "blue lagoon")
I could not find the problem... so any help is welcome...

Honestly, you'll have a lot better luck asking CSS questions in the forums. While people do occasionally answer things in my queue, it doesn't happen often, and I can't help with CSS weirdness.

Nikos, I had the same problem and I solved it using the following CSS thing:

.forum-post-panel-main.clear-block{
	clear: none;
}

Hey Stefanos,

I have exact the same problem. There are some space above the posted text.
With Garland f.e. there I have no problem, with "Sky" I got the problem.

In which file did you implement the css lines from above?

Thanks for your answer!

Hi Stefanos! It doesn't work for me.... I tried to check both css and php files but I can't find something wrong...
I'm still trying and any help of anyone is welcome.

I've added it too and it makes no difference.
So - any help is welcome for me too!

Nikos, we use different themes but the problem occurs because of the "clear" entry in our CSS....

Well I saw your site and using Firebug I discovered that changing in your style.css [line 84] the clear:both; entry to clear:none; it fixes the prob
Please check it, I think that works

in your style.css [line 1260] change the clear:left; to clear:none;
Checked using Firebug and works!

Thanks Stefanos. I thing that is a big issue between advanced forum and my current theme. Finally I've changed the forum's layout (for the moment...) and there is no empty space (at least!)...

I'm having a similar problem (white space above the post). I've been playing around in Firebug with the CSS, but I'm having no luck. Any help is appreciated!

Issue tags: +Forum, +safari, +Chrome, +blank space

I had similar issue with completely modified Simly Modern theme and Advanced Forum Blue Lagoon style. But i had blank space in the bottom below the content. The issue was only in Chrome and Safari, IE and Mozilla were fine. So after couple of hours of thoughts and manupulations, i ustood that this is because of 100% height in the wrapper, so i did foll and this helped me (http://gamepart.ru/forum):


.forum-post-wrapper {
	clear:right !important;
	height: inherit !important;
}

Also have an issue with admin menu in Chrome only - top margin is present even w/o menu available, now going to fix that too.
Its a pity but i have to acknowledge Chrome is buggy yet. Thou i like Chrome...
