Adding user picture forces message text down [#75557]

in IE6, Sands theme, Drupal 4.6.
Background colors don't alternate.

Example: http://prescottarts.youcanweb.net/cs/node/81.
Forum-related rules are shown there also. (flatforum rules merged with Sands rules)

Also, note extranous icon in first post. Is the title supposed to be repeated there?

Thx,
D. Lynn

Hi,

I see things are working as expected on the page you linked to, did you resolve the issue yourself?

Nice to get a response!

Actually, I haven't encouraged forum use because the problem isn't solved. It still looks the same in IE6: here's a screenshot. In FF, after decreasing the font size, only the third comment shows this behavior.

Using Sands theme w/tables.

Thx,

I'm sorry for the delay, I was away from Drupal.org for some time...

For your problem, I think it's happening because there is no enough space for pictures in the left side of forum posts, I suggest you play with CSS width values in flatforum.css:

.comment-left {
  width: 18%;
  /* ... */
}
.comment-right {
  /* ... */
  width: 78%;
}

Change the values to something like 25% and 70% and see how it goes.

What worked was reducing .comment-right to 75% and leaving .comment-left at 10%. I'm guessing an IE padding issue?

The delay was not a problem for me. I reached a point of diminishing returns on that project, and needed a break anyway. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
