Hi,

Although I have posted this under version 6.x-2.0-alpha, it is also an issue for 6.x-1.1.

The space (150px) created in the advanced_forum-structure.css for the author pane pushes the post text beyond the right border without wrapping.
The text just gets hidden beyond the border due to teh overflow class.

Is there anyway to specify the width of the post class in order to have the text fit in their properly?

Other than that - a great contribution!!

I've had people run into this before with some themes and I don't really have an answer. I've put it on the list to look at for someone who's going to have a look at all the AF markup but I don't know when he'll get to it. No one has been able to provide a contrib theme where this can be reproduced; it's always custom themes, so it's not even something I can fiddle with to try and fix.

I'll leave this active for a while and will post more if I hear back from the designer.

Hi Michelle,

I've managed to overcome the issue by changing the following section of advanced_forum-structure.css

.forum-post-panel-main p {
margin-right: 10px;
}

By changing the margin to slightly larger than the author pane space, it forces the text to wrap at the correct spot.
The above section of my .css looks like this;

.forum-post-panel-main p {
margin-right: 152px;
}

Cheers

Just a quick update...

I've had to set the right margin in ".forum-post-panel-main p " to 170px so that text within the indented comment also fits in the forum correctly.

Cheers

Thanks for reporting back. I'm still waiting to hear back from the designer and don't want to be changing around the CSS until I get his report, but will keep this issue in mind.

I am having a similar issue however it is with image width in the author pane... it doesn't use the imagecache preset to size the image and in turn the text is on top of the image. comparing the page source for the img src line in forum topic page and advanced profile page i notice a difference of a missing class="imagecache preset" is there something i can edit to get the image to use the preset?

thanks for any help in advance

The CSS layout on the forum topics took a very long time to get working. At this point, I'm not going to make any changes as I'm likely to break it. Template files are easy to customize if someone needs to make changes for their site.
