Fixed My Commnets
By Marisa | November 23, 2007
Ever since I installed YATCP, because Brian’s Threaded Comments quit working for me with this theme, I’ve had a problem with my comment box. It extended way over to the right, under my right sidebar. It was so frustrating.
I had looked at the page source and determined that the problem was cols=100%. The only thing was, I couldn’t find that reference anywhere. I’ve been able to write my own html for over a decade and I’ve followed the development of CSS since since at least 1999, maybe earlier. I’m still so new to php, though, that I’m not even sure where to begin when looking for something like this. I’ve tried a few times to get a grasp of it but I think I’m having a mental block.
So after several attempts to find the source of my problem, I asked some friends for help. And guess what? Within less than 5 minutes of asking for help, I found it on my own. That’s right, it just slapped me in the face. It seems that if I ask for help, nine times out of ten I find the solution myself. Why is that?
Anyway, it’s fixed. If you comment on this blog now, you will be able to see your comment as you type it. Your words won’t hide behind my sidebar.
Oh, and thanks to Cass to reminding me about this problem and prompting me to revisit it.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Great I kept hitting the return bar so I could keep track of my dyslexic comments. I thought you couldn’t fix it.this is better.
Dorothy from grammology…
ooh, I can see the whole box! Given my tendency to typo, this is a good thing, LOL!
