Word count / Announcement code issue [V5]

[keitatheprince]

So I've been working on bringing over all the side bar coding I have currently on my site [ aizrp.proboards.com/ ] over to this temp site [ aizrptestzone.freemessageboards.com/ ] So I can get all the bugs worked out... and so far I'm having a issue with the word count.

It's working perfectly on my other site, as for V5 for proboards it's giving me a bit of a fight, I think the main issues is down where the triangle is, as the open white space isn't next to it like it usually is, I've tried messing with the percentage coding to try and fix it and I'm literally at wits end on what to do about it, despite the fact I'm trying to get use to all of the new stuff as their is 

I also seem to be having trouble with bringing in my head announcements from my old board. As you can tell the backgrounds are completely see through [these areas are the "message to the members & survival rumors" ] On the original site we can see a white background but on the temp site It's completely clear and I'm not quite sure what to do with it honestly, despite the fact I'd like to center it and I'm not entirely sure how.... 

Though, I will appreciate any help to get this little coding issue fixed~~~

I don't have a V5 site currently using the side table plugin so I can't test this but you could try adding this css above the word count:

<style>

.my_word_count input{

width: 100px;

}
</style>

And then put a div around your word count:

<div class="my_word_count">

Your word count code and table here

</div>

And then in the code itself you'll need to set the columns to a smaller number because the textarea is definitely underlapping the forum(in Chrome, anyway).

<td width="100%"><textarea rows="10" name="wordcount2" cols="32" wrap="virtual"></textarea></td>
