No need to apologise - I appreciate your help.

Yes - it seems to be IE. I used IETester and got the same result in IE6, IE7 and IE8. However, in Firefox, Safari and Chrome it was OK - the same as what you see.

However, I just noticed that on THIS forum there is no problem - it's only happening on my website with IE.

Strange or what?

Thanks again.

There probably is something you can do about the problem for ancient IE browsers - why Microsoft has to do everything different still amazes me - by addressing with a specific rule in your CSS (don't ask me how it's done, though). IE8's compatibility mode may also help you, too.

It seems starange that this forum is OK but the error happens on my own website! Anyway, it seems not to be a problem with Kunena and isn't at all serious.

So thanks for all your help.

I believe that it's a css rule in your template that confuses IE. You just need to guess which one.

Hmmm ... I'd better start guessing! Thanks. The template is JA Purity and the Kunena template is default_ex. Anybody's guess! Thanks

I, personally, don't have any further ideas. If you browse through your default_ex CSS file you'll see references to specific workarounds for Internet Explorer; that may give you some clues.

Thanks sozzled.

Hi

This file is the background image for the topic:
www.staffierescuescotland.co.uk/componen...ges/msgtitleicon.gif

It seems only to happen, if topics is broken into 2 or more lines. And only in IE.

So, you'll see it, if you have a small screenresolution or long topics.

What you could do, is try to figure out whats wrong in the css:
www.staffierescuescotland.co.uk/componen..._ex/kunena.forum.css

Just search for 'msgtitleicon.gif' and you'll find this clause:

#Kunena span.msgtitle_new {
font-weight:bold;
text-decoration: none;
background: url(images/msgtitleicon.gif) no-repeat left center;
padding-left:25px;
line-height:26px;
font-size:medium;
}

Maybe replacing the background line with this, will solve the problem?
background: url(images/msgtitleicon.gif) no-repeat left top;

Thanks and well done LittleJohn.

I changed the template CSS as you suggested and it has solved the issue with no ill effects elsewhere as far as I can see.

Great stuff!
