It has been awhile since I visited this forum. Been busy and trying to develop this new blog and a lot is on the backend, not my strong suit. Anyway, Andy, Papa, Radio. Thanks for all the hardwork.

I'll share the forum as a demonstration of right-out-of-the-box = it dropped so nicely in place =  no custom coding to date…

I will pass along that you have some icon issues due to your wp theme...  in your style.css file, line 200, the a img directive is floating images to the left... this is negatively affecting your icons in spf...

btw - thanks to others 2. i make mention of the three amigo's by name as you have personally helped me to date. 😉

mr. papa, thank you for digging deeper. not sure how to respond.

1) not sure what is wrong with my forum at first glance. are you referring to "images" like the rss icon floating in the center of the row rather than sitting on the right side of the row next to the word " rss " ?

2) not sure how my theme's style.css works in detail yet ( the theme creator has been very responsive to questions ) do you think a "class" needs to be added to point to the spf image/icon issue? or a refinement of existing image directives ?

several ways you could handle this...

first, do you want all images in your wp site in a p tag to be floated left??  never really understood that in themes...  I like to place my images in different locations instead of hard coded to fix location...  you could try removing the float and see if it messes anything up on your site...

second, you could just fix it in your spf theme, in this case structured-tan...  in the skin css file, at line 19, you could add a float: none; directive which would do the same thing...

If you go the second route, I would suggest copying the skin over to your own skin to protect against upgrades overwriting your changes...  name the new skin directory whatever you want, just make sure the css file name itself matches the directory name...

I think I will also open a ticket to consider adding the image float none directive to our skins to keep this from happening again...
