thanks, your friendly neighborhood Moof

Your Joomla template is causing it. Your div #modulesleft is the culprit. Fix the CSS for it or get a better template.

Damn your quite right if I change too ruik_milkyway the problem goes. The problem is im not good with css, php, html and the like and ive spent a lot of time making custom user positions and such:unsure: How should i fix the css? any pointers would be appreciated. I looked up the div you mention and all there is in the css is..


div#modulesleft {

width:200px;

float:left;

}
please advise if you can

Have you simply tried making the width less? That's first thing to try.

Yep, ive tried all sorts, including duplicating the template and totally removing mod positions which worked for fixing the coflicting problem with Kunena, but I eventually had to resign myself to the fact that as you initially said the template I'd chosen whas'nt written that well, this isn't my first problem with it! So now I've changed it and all is fine. Thanks for your help and advice anyhowB)Now I fixed new theme, custom forum theme and new icons in no time should have done it in the first place!

for me it was a problem with the kunena template itself (the one you can edit in the backend: kunena.forum.css). The problem I was having was with the "clear:both" value.
This value is under "#Kunena .fb_list_actions" (~line 172). I erased clear:both and everything up to the forum stats was aligned correctly.
The remaining issue (forum stats and online members) was fixed by adding clear:none to #Kunena td, #Kunena table, #Kunena th, #Kunena div, #Kunena p, #Kunena span (~line 11). This worked because the stats and online members boxes are not covered by the .fb_list_actions classid, and the clear:none value was being inherited from my website theme css.

SO... clear:both is bad, use:clear none.

If there is any case where someone would NOT want to do this, or any case where this could be bad please reply so that I can fix this some other way... THANKS!
