Forum

Hi Amnion,

Even though this is an add-on module outside of our Efficient theme, I'll comment on your problem.

We were having the same problem with the Advanced forum module CSS on the itheme theme, which we are using here.

To modify the CSS and fix your problem:

1) Go to the Advanced forum CSS file called advanced_forum.css.
2) Find the CSS at the bottom that looks like this:

#newtopiclink {
float:right;
}
#newtopiclink a {
color: white;
}
.markasread {
float:left;
}

3) Replace or play around with it using something like this to start:

#newtopiclink {
position: relative;
width: 166px;
clear: both;
}
#newtopiclink a {
color: white;
}
.markasread {
position: relative;
width: 166px;
}

You may have to toy around with this to get the exact settings you want, but this wouldn't be an efficient theme problem - unless a CSS class controlling the advanced forum look and feel was inherited from the main Efficient theme style.css, which I don't believe it would be.

Hope that helps you with the issue.

Thanks!

Hi Amnion,
You should consider Firebug to troubleshoot layout issues like this as well. Nifty tool and plugs into Firefox as an extenstion:

Or download it from here:

Thanks for helping me with that, I'll do what you suggested. I also have Firebug, but I'm pretty new with it, so I'm still getting it figured out, but thanks also for the tip!
