Userpics in comments and on friends page - SOLVED

Help! I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I swear I checked and couldn't find this in the help pages. Because I was told my post was all over the place, I'm editing the wording of it

That's clearer, but I can't reproduce your problem without installing the theme myself on a paid account.

I can guess what's happening, and you can try to hunt it down based on my guess. Or you can visit a problem page yourself, save the whole thing, and put the files somewhere I can get them. I would need the HTML and all CSS that's active on the page; you can get this by "save as complete webpage".

My guess is that something on those "Leave a comment" pages is expanding the main content container to be wider than it normally is. Since float: right causes an element to be pushed as far right as it can go within its parent, the userpic is just hitting the container's rightmost edge, which is not where its supposed to be.

You would fix this by

- finding out what element (obviously it is something unique to the friends "Leave a comment" page) is causing that content container to grow and then restricting its size OR
- restricting the size of the content container so that too-large elements will overflow or be clipped rather than expanding their parent OR
- positioning the userpic from the left rather than by floating it right

You mentioning paid made me think of my theme layer, which was where the problem was. I don't know WHAT text in it caused the problem, as reading it kind of made my eyes go cross eyed, and also I hadn't changed it through my last layout, but getting rid of everything except the sidebar text and my header info got rid of the problem. So thank you for all your help! :D
