Hey guys, i have been installing a few mods into PHPBB, for example, i have the Admin announcements at the top of my BB, also, i was installing a forum archive mod, where you can send topics and all that to be archived, instead of totally deleted... But..I think i may have messed up somewhere with my code, or if not, then can you please tell me what you might possibly think could be wrong with some of the pictures below:

My problem with this one is, where you see the text about the messagebox, that is the size of the box that users post in, i think i must have made this smaller accidently while editing some code, maybe i did something wrong, or maybe its just the theme, but can anyone please tell me how to make it a normal size, isntead of one line, is there a way you can make it bigger? Also, as you can see, the poll button is a bit buggy too, is there a way i can fix that?
Code:

The problem with this one, is as you can see, the buttons are out of whack, they aren't showing the full text, is there somehow that i can make the buttons say the whole text they are meant to say, instead of missing text/cutting off half way through text.
Code:

The problem with this one, as you can see, if the user doesn't place a topic, it will give them the error, but for some reason, the error is under a big white thing, is this due to an image missing? If so what image am i looking for? Is it some sort of header image? Or could this also be a coding problem?

I would appreciate any help with this, if you don't know what i'm on about, please ask questions, i would like to fix this up, i will be happy to provide code, or pretty much anything you need to help me out. Also, i did put in all the files, and i'm not actually getting errors, but like i said, it's a bit buggy, not sure if it's because of the new mod i added in though. Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Okay, i've narrowed it down to a template issue, it seems the button image isn't being big enough to hold the text, or something like that, and i don't know about the subject big white blank thing, also template related, basically they all are, because everything works with the normal template, is there a way i can fix these problems, or does anyone know a GOOD WORKING template that looks similar to this? =]
Edit:
Still having this problem, would appreciate if anyone can help.

you don't have to bump this thread, it's a new topic.

What browser are you using, IE/Firefox/Opera???

If you know your way around some PHP and CSS you can alter the text sizes in the template. You can also find the button CSS template and alter the sizes or delete the sizes alltogether to have it mesh to the text.

just google phpbbx styles and you will find plenty.

Sorry for bumping, i was unsure on whether to bump or not, i am using Bon Echo (Firefox Community Edition (x64)) But it also happens in IE7, i don't exactly know my way around PHP and CSS i only know basic HTML, is there any tutorials or anything explaining how to edit the sizes and stuff? also, what about the screenshot about the subject needs to be there, with the big white background, i think it's going to be too much hastle, and might just be worth finding a new template.

Well, for faster and more accurate help, you should inform the PHPbb forums. They are the offical forums, and we don't provide any (offical) support for them. (stated in Fantasico).

The only thing I can think of is putting the code of each file up here and we can try to edit it out.
