I would like to know how I can fix this issue I am having with the Select Froum Dropdown Menu, when clicked on it actually gets cut off. Not sure where to find the CSS on this to style it to come in farther from the edge, or if this is a Javascript error. It seems to work fine here. Screenshot attached

impossible to tell from that screenshot... cant see right side...

would need a link to site to inspect the css... which you could do to with firefox and firebug... or other editor and its development tools...

Here is the link -- http://www.tncnewscentral.com/forum and if you look at the screenshot that is the edge of my blog so is cut off because when you click on the dropdown menu it gets cut off.

Your WP theme seems to be doing something funky with z-indexing and displaying those grey bars down the side in front of everything else. At least that is what it looks like.

I can give you a temporary fix by moving the drop down lists to the left instead of the right. Not as nice as they should be but it works until you discover what the real cause is.

In your SP theme if you find the block that sets the rules for:

#spMainContainer #spQuickLinksTopic .dd .ddChild,
#spMainContainer #spQuickLinksForum .dd .ddChild

in there you will find a margin directive. if you change that to be:

margin: 0 10px 0 -95px;

it should help.
