Using effervescence theme I get the text in the thread title (depending on theme customization choice) right below "x hits on this page" and right above "Powered by Zen Photo"

I find no obvious problem with the page layout otherwise.

Is this a bug? It's especially awkward with the "kish-my father" color choice because whatever that means it's not what I'm really trying to say with my page.

It is a bug in the text, the theme is working correctly. Fixed in the support build shortly.
