[Resolved] Avast site links problem

[havildar]

I`m not sure if this is in the right place, but any help would be appreciated.

The problem is with the way Avast linked pages are coming up on my screen. By that I mean avast!Free/Pro/Suite is ok and dead centre, but when I click a post (or question) the page comes up shifted to the right, and the left column (posters, avatars etc) isn`t there.

It seems to be happening with other general title/ specific questions here as well ... first page ok, click, right shift.

On Firefox with Adblock Plus which I`ve "Disable on this page only" but no difference. Same problem on IE 8.

Could it be problem with Spybot S&D or SpywareBlaster ... or something entirely different that I haven't thought of yet?

Thanks Asyn,

I've had a read of that but I don't think it covers my problem.

I like the new theme, width etc ... in short, the new default theme which is coming up with the first selection. It`s the second click and the page shift to the right that's the problem.

Something blocking items on the linked web page, I think, but I`m not sure what.

Did you try the AV6 evang theme..?
Also you can drop back to the old forum default theme, which is AV5.

Not yet, but I will do so.

On Avast 6 now, by the way. Updated from 5 this morning hoping it would fix my problem but no, it`s just the same.

1. Try it, should fix your problem.
2. Good, that you updated, but this is not related to the forum. Or did I misunderstand you all along..?

Now on Avast 6 evang which has changed the pages to full screen width, but still the second (linked) page is shifted to the right and where there should be a related list of posters/questions there is a blank column. Adblock Plus says "blocked items on this page 0 out of 143".

The reason I think something else iresponsible is that I have a similar problem with the PC Advisor webpage, where various ads are blocked all right, but the side-effect is to shift all pages to the left.

I`ll have to try switching off SpywareBlaster and then Spybot S&D to see if that makes any difference.

1. Please post a screenshot. ABP should not be a problem.
2. While I don't think this is related to these programs, I would drop them both, anyway.

Have you set ABP to free the space of blocked items..??
If this doesn't help ask here: http://adblockplus.org/forum/

Thanks Asyn,

That seems to have done the trick (Avast 5 theme):

I need to be logged in, though. Here's the same page not logged in:

I don`t think it has anything to do with Adblock Plus; first because it says it's blocking zero items on this page and secondly, because the right-shift is present in IE 8 (which I don`t use much), and to which Adblock doesn't apply.

It is the cause of the problem in the PC Advisor page. I can centre it by disabling Adblock for that page only.

Is it possible Avast is using something in the construction of the Avast 6 theme that SpywareBlaster has listed (wrongly) as a possible threat?
