You forgot to add the blog.css to your se_square_left/theme/stylesheet.css

Well, I tried to reproduce your case on my local pc's phpbb installation. It seems that the sidebar's default position is determined by a value like: vertical-align:middle (I don't know where). I edited view_blog_main.html and view_blog.html as follows.
Find

Code: Select all

<td id="left_menu"> 
and replace with

Code: Select all

<td id="left_menu" style="vertical-align:top"> 

Just try it to see the sidebar positioned "up". At the moment I can't think of any other templates you need to edit.
Finally, when you click "blogs", you see "recent blog entries" and "recent comments", under "random blog entry", positioned side by side. This is normal, I mean I don't see any mess.
See you around.

His sidebar position is off because blog.css is missing from stylesheet.css-- it's a classic mistake ppl have been making for the past 7 years with this Blog MOD.

Right Peter77sx. So, assuming that

a) stylesheet.css includes blog.css
b) blog.css positions the content of "left_menu" column at the top
c) the following line exists in ...my_forum/styles/my_style/template/overall_header.html
<link href="{T_STYLESHEET_LINK}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" />

all the administrator has to do is : go to admin panel, select styles tab, click themes, click refresh of the style used and then select general tab and click "purge the cache".

I 'd suggest that he should do the same for imagesets also. The link "Post a blog entry" that you see now is normally replaced by an icon reading "NEW ENTRY" (it is supposed to be in ...my_forum/styles/my_style/imageset folder).
