I think there's a big problem with this style and the Widget Framework.
I have tested on several websites.
The Google cache is destroyed. Here some examples.
Check this site:
http://bit.ly/1NDG9Sa
It´s look good but check the Google Cache.
Its look like this:
All content is on the right site.
The Widget Framework is activ on this site.
Another example:
Check this:
http://bit.ly/1N9X2kk
The Cache:
All content on the right site.
The Widget Framework is also acitv on this site
Now we check a thread of this site. Here is no Widget Framework acitv:
http://bit.ly/1G2BIxJ
And the Google Cache looks like this:
As you see, all is correct.
A bad google cache hurts your rankings.
I think a fix is absolutely necessary.

If you read the last few posts in this thread you will see this has already been discussed by others and Mike Creuzer has responded.
Goodness gracious. You have saved me @DRaver I noticed a steep dip in rankings and page indexing right after enabling sidebar on all pages (widget framework enabled) and using ui.x xenith theme. Its probably because of this very reason. Never thought of this ui.x conflict.
I implore/request/beg/plead @Mike Creuzer and @Jake B. to save us by fixing this cache issue asap. Its very important. Please help!
Also request @xfrocks to advice if possible.

@DRaver I see the problem, and seems it may affect everyone but I am not sure what is at fault (or why).
xenForo itself creates these classes. I looked at xenforo on cache and it isn't busted, so I'm not sure yet what's causing this widget framework or UI.X somehow, or maybe something else completely. I do see other sites also busted in cache who I know use UI.X and the widget framework.
There are 2 conflicting style classes. One is on the html element (Sidebar) and the other is set on the sidebar itself (sidebar). Google cache is not differentiating the styles based on the capital S in Sidebar, so it's making the entire site 300px wide in the cache (which is what the css calls for on .sidebar).

I haven't experienced this.

2 minor niggles and I am ready to take this live with our community 
1. There is this totally random empty bar above the forum list (appears pretty much everywhere) and developer tools say it's "funBox" which I have no clue what that is, and that it has an Amazon ad in it - what is going on there?
2. I have one member in our community whose user name runs outside the postbit
and for some strange reason the FA stuff isn't showing up in Firefox. Safari and Chrome both work fine, but this is what shows in FF

@NamasteDogs Are you loading / using 2 different root URLs on your site by chance? I've seen it happen like this in Firefox if you are mixing root URLs.
funBox is associated with the AD Monetize Pro add on. Do you maybe have an Amazon ad that's not rendering?
For the user name, I would ask that person if you can add a space before "Mom". If so, it will wrap. I would say use "overflow:hidden" on that area but then you'll chop other stuff as well like badges.
I'll be having to deal with this myself once I am ready to convert. I have a lot of crazy folk with long user names.

Haha, yeah we have some long names from when we were on vB and used their postbit on top.
I don't think I am using 2 root URLs, how would I check that?
We aren't using the Monetise Pro addon, but I was using [bd] Rotating Ads, maybe it's that? How do I fix it?
Funny, we´re not using any of this and we still have a funbox in the templates
Namaste, check your ad_ templates for an empty funbox container. Seems you have a funbox div in the contencheck area - and it´s empty, so the funbox itself is empty too but gets displayed as at least it´s content in the contencheck area. Other reason could be that the invitation code is invalid and the ad can´t be displayed. But your console should tell you that.

the 'funbox' class is included in UI.X as well

ALL of the ad location templates have empty funbox containers. They all say " PLACE YOUR ADVERTISEMENT CODE DIRECTLY BELOW " in them but this one (ad_above_content) is the only one showing a plain box on the site, none of the others show up unless I specifically enter something in the ad template.Funny, we´re not using any of this and we still have a funbox in the templates

You weren't testing with Amazon or anything, or maybe there's a test ad setup somewhere that's trying to appear? Otherwise seems weird you see an amazon blurb in there.
