Comments starting next to the author image instead of below it.
I've uploaded this theme to try and help other users new(ish) to css.
It still has a couple of glitches I would love a hand with.
Firstly, the comments in discussions in Vanilla normally start below the author picture, mine start next to it.
I tried to compare the css with another theme that worked as expected, but couldn't see what was different.
Secondly, the footer doesn't go properly to the bottom of the page and I've had to 'fudge' it down to the bottom.
I've got a test version here: http://www.barspetsa.org/whu606test/discussion
if that helps.
Thanks.

You could add:.Comment .Message, .Comment .MessageForm, .ConversationMessage .Message { line-height: 1.75em; margin-left: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 5px; text-align: left; }
margin-top:40px ( or whatever )

Your issue seems to be background width , was trying to figure out what youve doe lol.
Also i would have called the css file custom.css so users can see fallback. Will keep digging. Sometimes one piddly thing affects lots of others, domino effect

you could also do this , possibly better method.
.DataList li.Item, .Conversation li.Item { min-height: 60px; }
this is additional property

Thanks very kindly, @422
I'll reject your answer for now, but don't want to appear unappreciative.
That'd make you a Coventry lad, I take it?

I'm probably not being very clear.
If you look here: http://www.barspetsa.org/whu606test/discussion/3033/possibility-of-crowd-trouble-at-sundays-game-v-sheffield-wednesday#Item_3
the comments start at the bottom right edge of the author avatar, rather than beneath it, as on here, and as is normal.
Thanks for taking the time to try to help.
Thanks for the Annotated_CSS addon: very useful for newbies!

Thanks. The top-margin was what I needed to add (still not sure why...)
Any idea why the footer isn't siting properly?
I'm having to push it down with a -100px atm.

Over summer I will make it my project to start with a blank css file and build it up.
This theme is a cannibalised version of Clean, bits of your Festive site and the core Vanilla css, and anything else that worked, so has no over-arching consistency or plan.
Yeah I reckon start fresh .. and then work up from there.

Well, that was quicker that I thought it would be.
Decided to do it while it was still fresh in my memory.
I've changed the 'theme' so now it only has the specific css needed to make basic changes to the default theme in the custom.css file.
And none of those tiresome 'glitches' you get in so many themes nowadays...
Thanks again for all your help.
Your efforts are appreciated;)
