Is there something I can do?

Yes!  Stop using Intuit Sitebuilder to create the shell in which you embed your forum.

I recall an earlier issue you had with a footer that you placed miles down a page to allow room for your forum. That led to a discussion on WYSIWYG site building programs and web sites. Most of them advertise themselves as requiring "no knowledge of HTML" and allow you to drag things around the screen to position them. This is a thoroughly BAD idea!

The HTML that this approach generates contains a mass of "absolute positioning" code which is fine if you want to fix that element's position but, crucially, it doesn't allow other content any room for expansion.

I am not familiar with your program and can't advise in detail on how to stop this, but in general terms it's don't drag anything anywhere (The only concession I'll allow is to drag to the very top or left of the page. Content generally expands downwards and to the right, so it doesn't overlap stuff placed at the top or to the left.) and move on to some other way of building a site at the earliest opportunity.
