In trying to use the newer CSS 3COL FLOAT based themes I was running into issues with some modules. It finally dawned on me that maybe the templates or blocks contained clear: left clear: right or clear: both CSS statements that were causing my issues. I have found the culprits in my install and thought maybe we could list them as we find them. Typically they are in the block or templates. So, instead of chasing your tail thinking CSS follows some as of yet unknown set of laws and physics ... look in the modules!

Module: tRSSNews
Version: 2.12 , 2.13 RC2
Location: pntemplates

Module: News
Version: Version shipped with PostNuke
Location: index.php

Module: Admin
Location: Suspected.
The forms for modifying module settings were a big problem. As NewsPortal (my theme of choice) has top tab navigation I was able to cheat death by removing the left and right sideblock from admin.htm

IRC, Newportal needs a little tweaking to become consistently fluid. I don't remember but I think an overflow:hidden should do the trick.

<div id="me" class="none" style="none" />

Overflow hidden is great if you never want the center content to drop due to resolution but this is not the issue. This issue is with module templates having "clear" styles that break the column floats and push the output below the side column cleared

hehe I can't show an example because it gets stripped. But open up index.php in the .764 News Module - search for CLEAR. That DIV Style forces all articles listed, by selecting Topics, to the bottom of the center column... below the tallest side column.
