issues with date when clicking on lj-cut

[rykatu]

Hello! I'm having trouble with the date of the current layout I'm testing out for my journal. My account is currently a plus account.

When I click on an lj-cut to access a post, the date gets eaten by the navigation (previous, edit, tag, etc). This doesn't happen when I go to the direct link of the post. Not sure where I need to edit to fix this

This is an interesting one! I'm not sure if more problems are not introduced by the fix; you'll have to check that.

.subcontent { overflow: visible; }
.entry_text .ljtags { clear: none; }

This may be unfounded and grumpy on my part but I'll blame the theme author for directing you to use the layout's stylesheet rather than writing the whole style herself.

Thanks for the help!

The top part isn't eaten anymore, but it seems to have introduced white space (my test post has turned huge with additional white space at the end) and the comment bar section has also inflated.

Oh...I suppose that might make things messier, using the layout's stylesheet.

You've not added the second line. Putting the clear property in .ljtags isn't good enough; the base style has a rule with the selector I used above, and since it's more specific it overrides yours.

This is why using the base style is a bad idea. Overrides all over the place and specificity wars.

I see. I've changed things now. The date is fine now! As well as the regular entries! The icon was still running into the .comment part, so I changed the height of .separator to 20px.

I seem to have a problem with the comments though. Hadn't tested this before, but with a short entry, it looks like the comment box and the comments don't start until after the end of the sidebar. Is this because the comment section is too...wide?

Thanks for your help! I will probably stick to my old layout since this one is giving me a lot of trouble.
