Can't see your site... are you sure you don't have a markup issue? Did you validate your page (w3 validator)?

This issue happens to me all the time. Mainly when I add some new CSS style in the "Custom Code" area or change something like a color in the "Design Control" area. Your product rocks!... but this appears to be a bug that several people have reported. I have PPro installed on three sites now and two are being run by completely different hosting providers. The error is always the same, the Global Content Width gets reset causing a negative number to appear in the column widths (yes, a number with a negative sign in front of it, not sure how this is even possible). I have disabled all plugins and tried messing around with the settings and was able to replicate the issue so I don't believe it to be Javascript related. The strange part is that it comes and goes like a phantom bug. It is easily fixed by resetting the global width but it certainly freaks you out when it happens because all the columns on your site get mashed together. I will report back if I figure anything out.

Are you using the latest version? The negative margin bug should have been fixed already.

It is difficult for me to tell because the products / downloads page does not have version numbers next to the descriptions. I thought I was on the most current version but I may not be. I am using PlatformPro version 1.3.1 according to the description in Wordpress Appearance > Themes panel. Is this the latest?

Thank you so much Tim! I had no idea that I was a few versions out of date. I'm not sure if you are a member of the Pagelines team but if you are, the version numbers should really be listed on the downloads page when you log in. I know there is a text file in the root folder that gives the changelog but would prefer not to have to download the and decompress the zip file to find out what version it is. In the past I received an email when a major release was announced (which I promptly downloaded and installed) but I have not received any emails for the small releases that fixed issues like this. Anyway I will give the new version a shot. Thanks again for the info and your help!
