  2. Yeah, it's not a GF issue, it's your theme CSS and choice of settings.

    On the newsletter page one you've applied an image button, the one in the sidebar widget has different styling that's being applied by your theme (Thesis) and the one on the contact page is showing the default button styling for Thesis.

    You can remove the image button from the newsletter form and it should revert to the same style as the contact page. For the form in the sidebar widget, you'll have to add some CSS to your custom.css file to make it look more like the others.

  3. It's all CSS. You need to use Firebug or something similar, inspect those elements and then make sure that you have CSS in place to style them all exactly the same. Right now because one appears in the post body, another in the sidebar they have different styles applied to them. You have to make sure that whatever style you apply to them is consistent.

    On the 3rd form above (the newsletter page form) you have manually added an image button to the form. This is why it appears as a blue button, it's an image you have specified in the form settings of that form.

  4. i found the issue. it's the same problem that Thesis users run into when using a PayPal button on their sites..

    This CSS fixes the issue once and for all

    .custom .format_text input, #commentform input, #commentform textarea {
        width:auto;
    }
