See attachment or website.

I found this but it's for and old vBulletin version.

Try this. Create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Then change to this style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

If you do, empty your browser cache, close all browser windows and try again.

If you do not have this problem with the original templates, then this means the problem is with one or more of your custom templates. You need to revert your templates, then redo your changes.

Steve, this problem has been known for years and confirmed to exist in the standard style, too, as long as you wrap your forum in div containers that are relatively positioned. It's a problem with the javascript (see the thread the OP linked to). I personally found it very frustrating that this was never fixed in the 3.x series, but hopefully this will be past with vB4 is out.

exactly cellarius!

do you know if that modified .js in the thread I linkded works with 3.8.x too?

[cellarius]

No, can't tell you. I soved the problem by replacing the problematic div with a table. I was too lazy to always edit the javascript file. You'd have to try.

In that case I suggest posting in the Suggestions forum.

This worked for me!

Here is the function in vbulletin_menu.js, which works for me in quite a complicated div absolute-relative situation:

vB_Popup_Menu.prototype.fetch_offset = function(E)
{
    var left_offset = E.offsetLeft;
    var top_offset = E.offsetTop;
    var obj_orig = E;
    var obj_menu = document.getElementById(E.id + '_menu');
    var i = 0;

    while ((E = E.offsetParent) != null) i++;
    while ((obj_menu = obj_menu.offsetParent) != null) i--;

    E = obj_orig;

    while(i > 0)
    {
        E = E.offsetParent;
        left_offset += E.offsetLeft;
        top_offset += E.offsetTop;
        i--;
    }

    return { 'left' : left_offset, 'top' : top_offset };
};

Make a copy of the current one and replace the function with mine.

Good luck!
