  Hi,
  i’m using the Neo-Sapien theme, and the sidebar is acting really weird. it has three apparently, but i think the third one is supposed to appear under the second one. it appears right next to it, and it kinda squahses everything in together. its really annoying and makes my blog ugly :(
  any idea why this is happening and how i can fix it?

  what is your url? you have to be patient because the forums are mostly manned by volunteers. staff do not monitor all threads in the forums.

  The reason sidebars “fall” to the bottom of a blog is because the blogger inserted something like and image or text and images that’s too large into the blogging space or into the sidebar. Go back in times and remove whatever “large” objects you recently inserted either into a blog post or into the sidebar.

  BTW no wordpress.press blogs have “www” in their urls. Your blog’s url is http://ablover.wordpress.com

  You’re welcome. The maximum sizes for blogging spaces by theme are listed here http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/09/25/how-big-can-my-images-be/

  i fixed a bit of the problem, but the side bar on the left seems to have shrunk. none of my images are larger than they’re supposed to be, but my vodpod is overlapping my posts

  do you think it might be because i’m using more than one language?

  The theme you are using has a “default” setting producing 2 narrow side by side sidebars. Once you place anything in the sidebar area the “default” arrangement disappears. Whatever you choose to do over-rides the “default” arrangement.

  Have you types vodpod resizing or customizing into the forum searchbox? Maybe you will come up with something if you do.

  @zblacktulip
  In neo-sapien, the left sidebar is narrow while the two on the right are wider. Put the vodpod widget in one of the right sidebars. With the recent comments, try decreasing the size of the avatars shown. In presentation > widgets, click on the little blue box on the right end of the widget and choose a smaller avatar size and then click save changes.

  You know, I used Neo Sapien for months before I realized there was a third sidebar there.
