Do not end your posts with smilies. They break the formatting.

Does it do it on just this new template? Switch to another and report back.

Having the same issue here. Tried changing the table widths and div widths in css and php, no luck. Anyone have some suggestions?

I played around with the message.php file within the default_ex template, and the forum.css file, and still couldnt get it to work.

I tried many different attributes...widths, heights, paddings, margins, etc..

Im thinking it happens because the width of the template is fixed, not fluid..so it needs a website thats greater than or equal to its width..

The thing I don\'t understand is that from what I see after looking through the code, the default_ex template is pretty much just a modified default template, but with some additions and the left and right table columns switched.

The default template works fine, even with my narrower site template, but the default_ex squishes the avatar / poster info box.

I got the box to be unsquished by changing removing the overflow: auto in CSS, but now the forum section moves out of my template boundary on the right side.

It seems like such a simple thing to fix, but I just can\'t seem to get it working right. Any input from the template author?

It can be seen in action [url=\"http://iplaypokemon.com/index.php/forums?func=view&id=17&catid=8\"]here[/url].
