Hi JJer,

Your <div class="evo_sidebar"> in the (wrong) mainpage is child of <div class="evo_main_ara"> where it should be child of <div class="inner_wrapper">.
It looks like moving the complete <div class="evo_sidebar"> to the appropriate leve cures your problem.
If you want more advise I'd need to see some of your skin's code.

Good luck

Hi Afwas,
I checked your advice and could not verify. Also, when I click in a post "read more" the appearence comes correct. May be a post occured something?
As you suggested, I will copyx and past in the following the skin index.main.php.
Thanks for any tipp:

hi there jjer..

i'd say it is an unclosed div in the posts.main.php if you were using a skin using posts.main.php and single.main.php, however it seems you are using a modified 'asevo' skin that has only one file, index.main.php am i right ?

instead of adding <inner_wrapper> on top of each header container, insert it at the very top of the first container then close the div for the inner_wrapper at the end..

and do validate your skin it seems you have an unclosed div somewhere..

Right :-)

Hi,
I don´t know. I changed as advised, no difference. I validated, no error for open DIV´s. I even tried to use different skins: Same behaviour. This means for me, the problem is not in the skin CSS or HTLM. But where to look?

Shame on me - I went again manually through the source and it was an unclosed DIV! ( I am wondering why Dreamseaver CS3 does not find it when checking..)
Thanks for all your help and tips.
best regards
JJer
