sorry if not clear... what I am getting at is that all your other widgets are encased in
<div id="text-32" class="widget widget_text">
widget stuff here
</div>
except for the forum... how are the other widgets getting that? are they actual widgets or is that special div entered by hand either in text widget or in the wp theme template file????
that may be the root of your issue...
normally, the widget specification for a theme has the before widget and after widget arguments where that is specified... doesnt seem to be the case with this theme...
so my point was, if entered in text widget or theme template file, you may need to do the same with our widget if the theme widget declaration is incomplete...

Got you, Yeah some of the Widgets are text widgets and I did put a div on there but only to center them. Most of the Widgets are part of the theme so they are already sized to 300px so that is why all the adsense stuff fits perfect. I do have a specific widget which is the app widget and that I am able to change the size so I put the size of the widget to be 300px and fits perfect if I change that than it messes up everything on the side bar like the SPForum Widget is doing and any other widgets after the Forum widget have not choice but to fall off the side bar and go to the bottom of the site.
So how can I style the widget so is at 300px or less.

again, the sp widget is coming out at 300px, just like the rest...
rather than using our widget, you might try this instead inside a text widget:
[sp_recent_posts]

Well by default the widget is given an id of 'spRecentPostsTag' - which is applied to either a 'ul' or 'div' element depending on whether you chose to use list tags. So you should be able to control the width by styling that id.

That seems to have worked but now I have not editing options to change how it looks or even add avatars like on the actual widget.
