Great theme, but there's dozens of posts here re: sidebar last (which appears on the right hand side) wrecking everything on the page.
Here's my quick fix:
Go to style.css and make the changes within the */ /* (line numbers are approximate):
line 641:
body.layout-main-last #content-wrapper {
...
width: 470px; /* change to width: 70%; */
float: left; /* add this */
line 648:
body.layout-main-last #sidebar-last {
...
width: 470px; /* width: 25%; */
float: right; /* add this */
This should stop Sidebar Last getting pushed down the page.
Another problem is the content gets pushed down past Sidebar Last, so here's a fix for that, again style.css.
We'll remove float:right from "content tabs", which is the horizontal menu with "View Edit Track" which you see when you're logged in as admin.
We'll also add 40px padding underneath the content tabs to make it look nicer.
line 1412
#content-tabs {
background-color:transparent;
float:right; /* remove this line */
padding:0 0 0 0; /* change to padding:0 0 40px 0*/
}

Comment #1
Anonymous (not verified) commentedThis fix does not work for me. My comments are being stretched and all blocks in content bottom are being pushed down the page when I place blocks in sidebar last.
Comment #2
Anonymous (not verified) commentedI fixed the blocks in content bottom from being pushed down by changing:
#content-bottom {
clear:none; /*I changed this from "both" to "none"*/
overflow:hidden;
padding:5px 0 0 30px;
width:60%;
I'm still having a problem with the first comment in the comments section being "stretched" below the bottom of the block in sidebar last.

If you look at the block configuration page where it shows you the regions titled in yellow, 'content bottom' stretches across underneath 'sidebar last'. This is why sidebar last is pushing content bottom down.
Instead of content bottom, try using one of the other regions, the postscripts or the footer.
>I'm still having a problem with the first comment in the comments section being "stretched" below the bottom of the block in sidebar last.
I checked your site live using firebug and fixed that problem by changing the following...
Hit 'inspect' and select the box that's outside 'reply 1 pont' but inside 'COMMENTS'. It should read:
<div class="comment odd comment-by-anon clear-block">Now look at the css where it says
Select the second 'block' and now start pressing the down key until it changes to 'inline-block'. Also try other options there.
It should look like the attached pic.

ensemble commentedI've been playing around with these fixes on a test site, and they sort of work some of the time. Specifically, content is no longer pushed below the sidebar last *only if there are tabs at the top*. But in this situation, it messes with the layout with the items below. We've been having the problem specifically with our Organic Groups Forums, and the forum legend icons get spaced out incorrectly.
If I visit the same forum via a different URL so that there are no tabs at the top, the posts are pushed below the sidebar last, but the forum legend icons are spaced correctly. See the attached images.

david7 commented@ensemble: if you put your site up on the web (maybe using a temporary / test domain) i could use firebug and possibly give you a tweak for it.
However using Waffles I've found the full 3-column layout seems to constantly give problems with sidebar-last so I've stuck to 2 columns - content and sidebar-last.
