Can someone please help me figure out why the author field is not opening up in the page. Its showing up in the fields below on the post page but when i click on it it only opens about a centimeter and therefore i cant click the drop down box to insert authors name. this is happening on all my sites.
any help appreciated.
thanks

What is your browser ?
Try to use an alternative (Firefox , Chrome , Opera) .
Installing a new browser is only a few clicks :)

i use mozilla and ive tried IE all browsers are up to date. this is the only field that has problems. all other fields open properly.
On the administration panel Dashboard -> Posts-> Add New and at the top of the screen you have a "Screen Options" tab .
The drop-down menu let's you configure the "Add New Post" page layout .
There is a "Number of Columns" selection , select "1" , so everything should be displayed in a column . What is your result ??

i tried it but i doesnt do anything. the issue is it wont open up. i can see it and i can click on the "author" tab arrow but it just wont open all way. only 10%.
I made a tweak with CSS . The file that will be modified is
wp-admin/css/colors-fresh.css
Open the file with a file-editor (I use notepad++) and find the following CSS rule .
.widget,#widget-list .widget-top,.postbox,.menu-item-settings{background-color:#f5f5f5;background-image:-ms-linear-gradient(top,#f9f9f9,#f5f5f5);background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(top,#f9f9f9,#f5f5f5);background-image:-o-linear-gradient(top,#f9f9f9,#f5f5f5);background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,from(#f9f9f9),to(#f5f5f5));background-image:-webkit-linear-gradient(top,#f9f9f9,#f5f5f5);background-image:linear-gradient(top,#f9f9f9,#f5f5f5); XXXXX }
At the end of the rule append height: 200px .
Replace XXXXX with height: 200px ; .
The file is minified , so difficult to locate the CSS rule .Use search function of the file-editor (CTL + F ) to locate the CSS rule .
I made the test on my development environment and works ...
Back-up first the file and try it out

Hi, i did the edit and saw that it made them larger but the drop down field is still not showing. would you like to take a look at it if i gave you access? if so, just tell me how to deliver username and password to you privately.
thanks for your help

Let's do the basics :
1) Disable all plugins .
2)Switch to the default theme (twentyten )
What are the results ???
How many articles have you installed ??
How many users are created ???
Can you post a screenshot on imageshack
