Running TP 098 on 1.1.5. All of a sudden, my TP has stopped lining up correctly on my site (even on the default theme). It is actually lined up differently on every theme I have now - and it was all fine earlier today on every single theme. Here is where it is off on the default theme:

On a few of the themes I actually have to scroll to the right to see half the right side blocks.
The only thing I have done today is make a few changes to one particular custom themes Board.Index.Template file - but that would not cause this to happen. I have since even reversed the changes I made to that file (reupped the orig b.i.t file) and TP is till messed up.
Forgot that I also edited the Themes\Default\Languages\Index.english.php file and changed the word "Messages" to "Pms".
Would that cause it to throw TP out of whack like like that and if so could someone point me in the right direction of where the code is I need to edit to correct it? (I have spent the last 4 hours looking through css code, etc but I dont want to make changes without being sure its the code I need to to change. I am familiar with css for reg smf themes but not TP css.).
Its almost like the header info is wider when your viewing the portal versus how it is when you are on forum view which is why its all out of whack.
TIA - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can't help unless you post a link so we can look at the problem. The picture you provided gives no info what so ever.
I started to post it but didnt think it would matter since the theme I have set as the default doesnt show any overlapping (and its on guest view only). It does however show that the tp page is still way wider than it originally was (all the tp pages on each theme were pretty much the same exact width as the forum witdh). Guess I didnt think at the time of this post that you could just log in and change to which ever theme to see it for yourself (sorry..hehe)

you can log in with the test account
testaccount
pw = 12345678
(it doesnt have admin privies but I can give it to you if you need them).
Edit: I took the liberty of changing Pms back to Messages to see if that fixed it and it didnt. I also do not have the default theme available to members so if you need that as well just let me know.
Well I looked at a few themes on your site, and I don't see any problems. What resolution are you running on? What browser and version are you using?
well your not going to believe this but every single theme was over a half inch out of whack to the right yesterday when I made this post (like they were all shoved to the right) and I have done nothing to it since ...lol. I use 3 different browsers - IE7 FF and Opera (all 3 displayed the portal the same way) - 1024x768
I still have issues with a few of the themes such as the blue ace one - its like its been shoved over to the right

The Triton theme was the worst one and its back to normal. (this is really weird and I know I'm not going crazy.. I had several members pm me yesterday wanting to know why it wasnt lining up anymore and wanted to know how they could fix it so they didnt have to scroll to see all of the content..lol).
Heres the portalaqua theme - its still way out of whack

the default theme was out of whack alot too but it seems to have mostly gone back to normal.. it almost lines up now

The only thing I did was change the word Messages on the menu to Pms because I have alot of buttons up there and as admin I also have one more button than most and when I would get a pm, on some of the themes it would throw that whole bar out of whack so I did that to stop that from happening. If that was what caused it, I would think after changing that back, all the themes would go back to how they were but they havnt.
Well, I still have yet to see the problem. I don't see the same result you are seeing. Perhaps there is a block, article, or something not visible to me that is throwing everything off for those who can view it. Disable all custom blocks or articles and see if that shows you something is wrong in one of them.
once you are logged in, you are able to see everything on the portal (with the exception of the permissions block - that resides in the bottom right corner).
This is just really weird because I see those images I showed you no matter what browser I use and my res never changes (its always 1024x768) and everything lined up perfectly until yesterday :-\. Since I have had others ask me about it I know its not just me. I may start a thread to see who all is having issues with it and go from there.
Sometimes I think my board is haunted because things happen that I cant explain...lol. I was really hoping maybe it was somthing that I did to cause it so atleast I would know not to do it again :D
Thanks for taking the time to look at it. :) Hopefully it will resolve itself soon. I changed the password for that account so if yuo need it again for anything related to this, shoot me a pm and I will give the new one to you.
It looks like you have disabled the password above (that's good ...probably risky to post it on a public forum like this) so I cant see the problem you are reporting. However just a few days ago I had submitted a post on a problem that might be similar; the "header" section of my site was lining up okay but the left side of everything under the header was aligned with the right side of the header. In other words everything below the header was displaying completely off the screen and it was necessary to scroll the horizontal scroll bar to the right to see it. This was happening only on my Linux FF 1.5. I also noticed that if put the resultant source into a textfile and uploaded it to the validator.w3c.com, it validated 100% okay even though the output was a mess in FF 1.5. So it's probably not a TP problem; strictly speaking.
Anyway, fortunately, by chance I found a fix for it by putting a nonbreaking space ( ) right below the header; then everything aligned perfectly and the bug seems to be gone. No logical explanations here ...just reporting what I observed and what I did to fix it.
