Hello All,

I'm a beginner, with little knowledge of html, php, and drupal. But somehow through the miracle of drupal I was able to put together a website. Now I've run into an issue: The comment text, body, content, whatever you want to call it, along with the title are being displayed just outside the defined comment area.

Can someone help me shift this text back over so that it is within the predefined content section?

Please see my example below:

ALSO, how can I get rid of comment title altogether? I've tried deleting the line of code for the title from the comment.tpl.php file but it didn't help. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Brian

You've got this in your style.css:

.comment {
border-top:1px solid #EAEAEA;
margin:0 -25px;
padding:1em 10px;
}

Change it to this:

.comment {
border-top:1px solid #EAEAEA;
margin:0 25px;
padding:1em 10px;
}

I do not see a comment title in the link you provided.

I modified the garland style.css file as you recommended, and still there is no improvement. Am I missing something?

I think it has to do with the color module, defining the color scheme of your site. Try this. Go into modules, turn off the color module, then refresh your browser and look at the comment page. If it looks ok, restore the color scheme.

Good news is it seems you were right. When I disabled the color module all the comment stuff shifted as expected.

Bad news is when I enabled the color module again everything went back to the way it was.

Got any other suggestions? Maybe I need to tweak the color module files?

In your sites/files directory, you should have two folders: color and CSS. Try deleting all the files in the CSS directory, while keeping your color scheme and the color module activated.

EDIT: ON SECOND THOUGHT, DON'T DO THIS. You will lose all formatting for your site, at least temporarily. I am fairly sure you can restore the theme settings by resaving the theme color scheme -- that will be preserved in the files/color folder. If you do delete the files in the CSS folder, just be prepared to see your site without any formatting whatsoever.

Thank you so much. I didn't realize how many different style.css files there were. I went into the color folder within the sites folder like you recommended, then implemented the margin change you suggested in your first post.

Thanks again! Cheers!
