And make sure the image isn’t linked to anything (click “none” under link URL).

Cool — that works. Thanks!

Unfortunately, neither seems to work.

BTW, this:

body {
	background:#FFFFFF;
	font:80%/1.5em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	color:#333333;
	margin:0;
	}
img {
	vertical-align:middle;
	border:none;
	}

is the only mention of img in the original stylesheet, if that matters.

I like it — it’s elegant and without that affected spartan look many “simple” themes have.

Gotcha — that’s one of the few bits of css I’ve learned. Thanks.

ps — The second block you cited above doesn’t seem relevant, as it applies to images I post, not ads served by javascript, right?

I changed the left and right padding from 20 to 10 px, and it fits, but it looks off-center. Any lower than that and the text is too close to the column edge. It looks best with text ads, so maybe I’ll let it ride without image ads.

Thanks.

I used text widgets to store ad blocks and switched them in and out frequently. Now I have to re-edit them every time I want to change something. This is flat-out stupid. I’ll stick with 2.3.3 for most of my sites, thanks.

I just tested it in Firefox on windows xp and it works fine. So this is a linux thing? A Gnome thing?

ok, I created a user “test” with the pw “test” if anyone wants to see what I mean. Try to leave a comment and see if the test box looks normal.

By the way, I just realized that you can’t see the problem unless you’re logged in. It’s the actual text input space that’s weird.

Huh. I should say that I’m using ubuntu linux, and the IE I tested it in is obviously windows.

I’ve tried it at 1680×1050, 1280×1024 and 1024×768 on three separate linux machines, and they all make it look funky in FF.
