I recently had an issue with my Aweber forms on this blog. When I inserted the code from aweber and looked at my form the field widths where shortened. They were getting shrunk down to about 5 characters wide. I went on a search to find the answer. Here is what I found.
There seems to be a little glitch with Thesis 1.5 and quit possibly previous versions had the same issue but it seems to be more obvious in 1.5. The fix is easy, and it is a lot easier if you are using Thesis Open Hook Plug in. If you are not, you should install it now.
You will insert this little bit of code in the custom.css file.
/* Lengthens the width of third party form fields */
.custom .format_text input,
.custom .sidebar .text_input {
width:auto;
}
You will notice a little documentation above the code. I have added that to remind me what the code does. This will be a huge help when I go back into my custom.css file 6 months from now and can’t remember what that particular set of code does. It is a good practice to get in the habit of doing.
Hope this helps you out, if it does or if you have any questions, please leave me a comment. Happy Blogging.

this seems to be fixed in Thesis 1.6 or atleast I didn’t notice awhile pasting aweber into HTML widget.
