1. I have not altered anything that would cause this. This issue has been happening since install but I thought I could solve it. Too late to reinstall. Way too late.
2. Am FORCED to use Joomla 1.5.23 because Auction Factory has not been able to update to 1.6 let alone 1.7 or 2.5.
3. As a result, certain options for changing widths do not appear in Template Manager.
4. Width of article goes UNDER the Ja Template Tweet/Share Plugin on right:

5. Width of Auction mod also gets cut off on this page:

http://siteground210.com/~blackst5/new_joomla1.5/show-auctions/viewbids/1/sgtest.html

Otherwise, template behaves well. no other issues. Sure could use help with this.

And if any of you happen to know your way around AUCTION FACTORY, please let me know. I will PayPal for your time.
Auction Factory cannot help they say they are too busy. I understand but am really struggling to integrate into this template. It is a GTREAT mod but it is very challenging to set up. :((:((:((

You may try to edit the tweet (css) position

div.ja-social-toolbox-large {
background: url(“../images/toolbox-big-bg.png”) no-repeat scroll right top transparent;
min-height: 231px;
padding: 8px 0 30px;

position: absolute;

right: 0;
top: 0;
width: 77px;

Link to better css explainations on padding than I write here , Link to better css explainations on css positioning than I write here

I hope this gives you some workable solution

OK, I did this in the template.css:

/* Social —*/
div.ja-social-toolbox-large {
background: url(../images/toolbox-big-bg.png) no-repeat scroll right top transparent;
padding: 8px 0 30px;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
width: 77px;
min-height:231px;
}

UPLOADED VIA FTP
CLEARED CACHE/HISTORY
But the plugin still overlaps articles even on the ABOUT page, the only page that fully expands.

I just noticed the two links you gave to understand padding better. Thanks again. Will go learn and come back and provide answer to those who may be experiencing same issue.

I gave up. I followed your links (great, by the way) and tried all 4 positions yet nothing improved the overlap so I set the plugin to appearAFTER the content (at bottom).

I now have to figure out why the HOME page article does not expand to margin. Will search forum and thank you for the help.

In template.css line 178 you have

[PHP].article-content {
margin-right: 30px;
}[/PHP] which could go some way to reducing the margin on the right.

We also have this in layout.css line 22

[PHP].main .inner {
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
}[/PHP]
