Posts line up with, and have irregular distance, between each other

    Hello!

    The posts on one of your premium Tracks themes misalign. Here’s a screenshot of the problem.

    This happens predominantly in Chrome, but I think I’ve seen it happen a few times in Firefox, too. At first it wasn’t a constant problem, but now whenever I open the site in Chrome, the posts line up with each other instead of being a regular distance apart. It’s a much rarer occurrence in Firefox.

    You can test it for yourself here.

    Note that I do use the following custom CSS.

    .site-header {
    position: fixed;
    width: 100%;
    height: 144px;
    }
    .main {
    margin-top: 120px;
    }

    .excerpt-header:after {
    display: none;
    }

    .blog .main,
    .archive .main,
    .search .main {
    max-width: 1000px !important;
    margin-left: 12.5%;
    }

    I would appreciate any assistance.

    Thanks so much for upgrading!

    I was able to recreate the issue, but only under specific circumstances. When visiting with Chrome, I saw the same gap between the posts, but it fixed itself once the page loaded. Here’s a video of that happening: https://pics.competethemes.com/1M080s0P1j31

    Is the gap staying even after the page loads when you visit?

    I can’t provide a quick fix for this, but I’ll address it in the next update for Tracks.

    That’s the problem, yes. It’s not fixing itself for me.

    I cleared Chrome’s cache and reloaded the site. I noticed that loading seems to stall halfway through (the first post’s image took about 15 seconds? to fully load; I don’t remember the site doing this before …) and then resumes, which appears to get the theme stuck even after everything finishes loading. Disabling plugins made no difference.

    Your video is how it works for me in Firefox (although, again, sometimes it gets misaligned even there).

    How long until the next update, do you think?

    I haven’t finished tinkering with the site, so I suppose I can keep myself occupied for a while. I have a few questions for you, actually, which I’ll post separate from here.

    Thank you for your time.

    Ben, I think I’ve figured out the problem …

    margin-left: 12.5%;

    in this bit of custom CSS

    .blog .main,
    .archive .main,
    .search .main {
    max-width: 1000px !important;
    margin-left: 12.5%;
    }

    appears to have been the problem. Sorry for wasting your time.

    Don’t worry about it, I’m glad you brought this to my attention.

    The layout should be capable of working with a customization like that, so I’ll try to improve it with the next update. That update will be available 3-4 weeks from now.

    Okay, good. Thanks again for everything, you’re swell.
