Hi. Since upgrading from TP 1.0.5 to 1.0.6b my front page forum posts don't align correctly. Previously, they were in order from top to bottom on the left side, then from top to bottom on the right side (with the oldest posts on the right). After the upgrade, they are aligned from left to right in pairs with the most recent posts at the top of the page and the oldest at the bottom.

I don't have a problem with the new order, it may even be better. My problem is the gaps under posts that have a longer post next to it. Click the link above to see what I mean. Is there any way to go back to the way they used to stack like Tetris blocks? I'm wanting the blocks to stack with no gap under them regardless of the size of the post in the same row.

If I've thoroughly confuse you, I apologize.

On a side note, does anyone know if there's a variable to limit the size of the topic name in the frontpage block? As you can see, some overrun into the block next to it.

Is there a setting for displaying the articles from top to bottom instead of left to right? I'm using the "D" setting for the "Articles layout for the frontpage" (two columns).

Yeah I'm having the same problem - I had "A" selected, and before my upgrade, forum posts were shown in descending order one right on top of another.  Now, with "A" still selected, the most recent post shows up on top, and then the next two show up beneath that first one, each taking up half the width as the top post. 

EDIT:  I found that "D" works as "A" is supposed to (and vice-versa) - except it doesn't work right in my theme.

Would anyone want to try and fix this for me?   I'd be willing to pay.   

      My forum here - notice the second front-page post

It's bugs and theywill be fixed for the next release, it's not an easy thing to fix so you will have to wait until the next tp release.

When is the next version of TP coming out?
