If you can tell us your URL, we can look at your CSS and tell you the error. :)

It definitely is a CSS issue. You can also look in your CSS and search for "border:" and then one of them will define a "red" border.

Sorry we only got PC.
but i tried to replace my css with one (for example called css #2) from another theme and i got the same problem, might seem problem not coming from css.
but if i choose a new style/theme (the one with css #2 file) in serendipity admin, the problem is off and blog looks nice.

strange isn't it ?

I have the same problem using default style serendipity v2.3.

Garvin could you test it yourself using login_plugin in left sidebar, or quicksearch.
a dotted line (with firefox) or a dashed line with IE is still around form area.
i'm not sure it comes from css error.

I cannot reproduce this on my own page, I need to see an live example of this.

Can someone make screenshots and post the HTML/CSS somewhere? I really need that to look at.

I'll prolly disable the Forms plugin that is causing the problem
just go inside serendipity_event_xinha.php and scroll down till u see xinha_plugins and delete forms from it.
U don't need that plugin anyway. in v0.2 i already removed the forms plugin.

I see that there's additional "<html>" code and stuff being added to the output, this is quite bad - where does it come from? MySchizoBuddy, do you know if that is an option to disable all the HTML/BODY tags getting added?
