There is a bug in the alignment of the text part of the news, where the Avatar will cover up the bullets if a list is used.

Yeah not sure how to fix that other then adding an option for you to remove your avatar. Happens on our front page news too.

I'll try to help you out with this. I've never worked with vBulletin but all these portal type scripts use templates for each screen as you probably know. So all you need to do is find this template and wrap the users text in a (user text variable here). You may want to use some other value besides 20px, that's just what looked good to me.

Attached is the edited html file. You can see my addition on line 1076 to get an idea of where you need to place it in the template.

Wouldn't you rather want to add a margin to the image?

Actually adding style="margin-right: 25px" to the img tag did produced a better result then the . Using the shifted the entire text over, while just adding style="margin-right: 25px" to the img tag just moved the text to the right of the image over 25 pixels. I am surprised I didn't think of that. Good call gm.

I tried that before but guess I just didnt use a pixel value that was large enough. The only bad thing is that normal text is offset even more now. I changed it to 15 so that the normal text would look ok.

Its weird that the browser ignores the bullets and only effects the text with the margin.
