Blog Layout Breaks with Template Update

Hi. I updated the (M) Social template and all related files and then attempted to update to Joomla 3.2.3, only to find that the two blog layouts I have in my site break. Please see attached "Before" and "After" screenshots. My site address is: http://javelina.co/

The blog layout/functionality has been an ongoing problem within this template and I have asked about it several times. Gavick said to wait until the template was updated for Joomla 3.2.X, which I did, but it is still breaking. Please advise. Thank you!

I've visited your site and see the blog layout correctly, please look » screenshot

Could you provide me direct link to page where this problem exists?

Thank you. Yes, the blog layout is correct now because I reverted back to my original site without the Joomla 3.2.3 update (can't have this layout break visible to the public). Here are the two links where it breaks when I do the Joomla update:

I've checked clean template installation blog layout with latest J!3.2.3 and it looks like here » screenshot
but it is totally different from your one so it may be related with custom changes. By default the images are display on the top of the title but in your site I see that image is on the left. I suspect that the problem is caused by your custom CSS changes and image just overflow the text. I can't replicate this problem because in default template it looks totally different.

Thanks for looking into it. In your example screenshot, are you using K2 for the articles or the core Joomla blog functionality? My site uses the core Joomla blog functionality. On my News page (http://javelina.co/index.php/News/), only one article has an image and I don't think the image alignment explains why the date and "read more" buttons would disappear with the upgrade.

In my opinion this is custom changes issue, it is default blog layout so using com_content (Joomla! articles), please just look at the demo server » Category blog and see how it looks by default in template and your view. Do you have a backup of original template code to check this issue?
