hi there y'all -
I've been fiddling with this for a bit - if I tweak the css for .content to a fixed width of 660px then the right-column widget on the home page stays put but if I leave it at width of 100% then when I post something it pushes down the widget.
also, oddly enough, if i change the css to 660px (as above) then when i click through to the post itself now the css has moved the blog sidebar widget around.
in any case, any suggestions? i saw the previous hack in here somewhere about dropping a background image that helps extend the bottom of the right column to match up with the footer so you get a nice border - i was prepping to do that next... I suppose that would at least give the right column a clear visual separation from the post content but all of the right column widget content still gets bumped down by the post.
help me jeebus! (or, preferably one of you knowledgeable peoples)
my apologies if this has been answered elsewhere - please direct me to the answer if that is the case!
thanks!

quadruple checked but no dice.
i removed and installed a freshly downloaded copy of the theme. i turned off all the plugins during all of that and still no go.
if i chose "slideshow" as my featured article version than the right column issue goes away - its only when i chose article that the column drops if there is a post. changing the number of posts has no effect either.
the problem with chosing the slideshow version is that i get an empty box.
any suggestions? i'd go with the slideshow feature if that was working....

Hiya,
Ok, I'm out of ideas. I've tried every combination of settings and the theme always displays as it should (for both slideshows and articles). Can you send me a set of admin login credentials.
Also, I noticed the membership plugin is still running on your site. I also tested with the membership plugin and didn't have any issues, but to track this down we're gonna need to turn off everything but the theme.
If you're comfortable with that, just send me a username/password to the email as before.

Hiya osakasmith,
Can I get a link to your site? If I can take a look I can probably assist on the coding bits.
Thanks!

Alright, so in the end it turns out that I had to hide the Featured post setting in theme options.
This kind of sucks though because the only way I can see to get any posts on the home page is by using a text widget.
Of course, that means wordpress doesn't really work for adding content anymore....
Hmmm..... I'm kind of stumped.

Hiya osakasmith,
As I said in the email, I'm not able to replicate this issue - everything works fine for me with the feature posts enabled.
Something is messing with the theme's default display on your site - either a wayward plugin or perhaps the theme didn't install correctly.
I'd recommend re-installing the theme and deactivating all plugins and see if the problem still exists.
Thanks!

Thanks again!
I tried the disabling of plugins to no avail but I will attempt a re-install.
I'm a little behind schedule so please stay tuned.

Ok. Sometimes things don't copy right (or permissions get messed up) during FTP transfer. Double-check everything and let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

nah. i don't need it to work that badly.
we're going to leave the home page in a more static state anyway.
thanks for the help!

Alrighty. Please let us know if we can assist on this in the future.
Thanks!
