Field names in comment section not displaying correctly...

I'm building a new site in a localhost development environment. Everything going pretty well, except that something is wrong with the comment section. Either the fields are too small (vertically) or the field names are too large. Also, the text for the check boxes at the bottom isn't aligned correctly... I'm attaching a screen grab as an example. Can you tell me what's going on? I did alter a css file, but it was not an EasyBlog css file (it was a custom module for the Yootheme template) and I've disabled it anyway, so assume that has nothing to do with this issue. I'm somewhat of a novice, so your assistance will be most appreciated. I'm running the latest version of EB on the latest version of FireFox using wamp with all components up-to-date, and as I say, everything else is rendering as expected.
Hello Mark,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. Is it possible for you to provide us with the URL to your site to check this out?

No worries. I enjoy having my weekends off -- as should you!

Well, as I said in my original post, this is on my personal machine, in a localhost development environment, so there is no URL. If you're unable to determine what might be wrong from the screen shot and give me some pointers, perhaps you could just tell me where to find the css code for the comment form?

Hello Mark,

Hm, without access it's quite difficult to tell me where the conflicts are arising from because I need to take a peek and see what is resetting the textbox What I think you should do is to add your css modifications on your template's css file instead.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but the only modification I did make was to the template's css file, just as you suggest -- but even then, I disabled it later. Can you just point me to the EB css used by the comment module? I am comfortable enough with css to take it from there.
thanks

Hello Mark,

The css file is located in /components/com_easyblog/themes/default/css/styles.css
