Hi @SKevo
It seems to me that there is a problem with the dimensions or positions of the content container on the discussion page.

I will share some screenshots and then try to explain the problem, I hope I do it well.

Details

Screenshot #1
The screenshot shows what a forum discussion page should look like.

Screenshot #2
The (reversed) right-to-left screenshot shows an RTL forum where the content container is not as natural and clear compared to this forum.

Screenshot #3
The screenshot of an RTL forum shows the content container not showing up naturally and clearly compared to this forum. The post text does not reach the end of the main container. There is a gap where it is not supposed to be.

Screenshot #⅘/6
The screenshots show an illustration of another container that does not appear to be the same as the normal container and is cropped. Screenshot 5 is reversed.

I also notice that the space between the profile picture and the post content is less in the RTL forum compared to this forum.
I had pointed this out in the past and you had fixed it then.

Best regards

medelinor I apologize for the late response. So, here for instance, you want the orange margin gone and the empty space removed, is that correct?

medelinor

SKevo Never mind, always take your time.

Exactly, I want the content display to be similar to this forum we are talking about now.
I mean that the distance between the content container and the navigation bar container in the post should be similar to the distance here in this post for example. Where the forum container is wide and clear while it appears to me as not wide and somewhat sideways.

I just have a question, will the forum be affected if the orange margin is removed?
I may not know what the orange rectangle means, so I tried to explain the problem as much as I could.

Thank you very much

Just to note, and I know this could be due to work on a fix. Some buttons on the side have been repositioned. Reply button, and follow post button:

I did some research, and it turns out that the additional spacing is added by the RTL extension itself. This commit fixed it 2 years ago: https://github.com/irmmr/flarum-ext-rtl/commit/0dd8d8ef1e1e4793dee5cfc29dd5dd22741bcfe4#diff-faf19bb45897c9cdff224e145ade10d31c89d0128924548229df494eead132afL12

However, no new release has been pushed for the extension ever since. I have opened an issue to let the author know about this here: https://github.com/irmmr/flarum-ext-rtl/issues/6.

For now, I have applied a temporary CSS fix that removes the unnecessary spacing for the post stream. FYI I have also fixed the button ordering issue. Please, let me know if it works correctly.
