Forum post layout on front page

Hey all I have read so far through 20 pages and done a few searches both on google and on your forums, but still cannot find a answer to my problem.

I am using:
TinyPortal Beta 3
SMF 1.1.8
IronWoW Theme

I have installed:
HacksPark shoutBox
WoW-Itemstats 1.25.9.5
Images On Board

My site: http://tsbguild.nokem.co.uk

As you can see in the link, the second forum post to be displayed on the site the main box width is narrower than it should be. I have checked through the tp theme php and css files but cannot seem to reslove this issue without some help. my frontpage settings are as follows.

What to display on frontpage: Forum-posts and articles - sorted on date
How frontpanel will be shown with content: Hide frontpanel, unless otherwise selected.
Articles layout for the frontpage: A
Layout types: Normal + icons

I would also love to have the center blocks the forum posts display in the same as the very top block on the site, which they do when selecting Normal article view but showing the posters Avatar as it does on Normal + icons view.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

Does it do this in the default theme also, or is this a theme issue?

mekon

Hi thanks for the reply, after trying in a few themes it does indeed to this in the default and any other theme I try.

Renegd98

Is there possibly any vode in the block that has the width problem that woudl cause it to be doing this?

mekon

well all the php files are default for both TP and SMF only thing I have edited is for the menu links at the top of the page and the css files.

I have checked the TP css and can not find anything that would cause only the 2nd block to be reduced in size.

Renegd98

What I meant is are there any codes/coding in the article that has the problem?

mekon

No, its coming straight from a forum post, there is no code at all in the post.

What about doing this another way? I prefer the layout used in Normal view but wish to add user avatars to the block, how exactly could this be done? I have checked the code in the TPortal.template.php but cant see exactly how I would go about adding it?

thanks again for any help you could give

Renegd98

Someone more familiar with coding would have to answer that question. I am stumped as to why that block does that.  Have you tried a different post to see if it will always show the 2nd block like that?

Please try a different post to convert to a article and if it does it still then youmay have found a bug that needs to be reported.

mekon

Articles seem to work fine, it only seems to be a problem showing the forum topics on front page.

mekon

Just checking in to see if anyone has had more time to take a look at this problem or if there is anything that can be done to add the avatar image to normal layout view for the forums and articles on frontpage ?

thanks in advance
