I just noticed this in our forums. I don't know if it's been that way for a while or something changed recently. (I recently made some updates to installed applications on the server.) ALL of the buttons, regardless of what style you are using, are really really long. (I've attached a picture so you can see what I mean.)

Is the length of buttons determined in a style sheet? In the html code? Where do I go to adjust this to something reasonable? (I have root access, and I'm not afraid to edit files manually or make changes to the database.)

This is directly related to the 3rd party content in your custom island #6; more specifically this bit:
Code
<style>
button {
  color: #00F;
  font-weight: bold;
  border-sizing: border-box;
  border-radius: 4px;
  bottom-border: 1px solid blue;
  background-color: #eee;
  width: 27%;
  height: 30px;
  font-size: 12px;
  padding: 6px 6px;
}
input {
   height: 30px;
   border-radius: 4px;
   font-size: 14px;
   width: 70%;
}
</style>

Which is overriding the UBB.threads style. Take care in the future when adding new coding so that you can ensure the classes defined will not be overriding the stock ones the forum offers; simply rename the classes in use in the target code to use something different such as "islandbutton" (or just remove the CSS and let it use the UBB.threads class)

Thank you for the quick help. I changed the style to an id with a unique name, and it solved the problem. I should have realized that using well-known elements in a style might have unexpected consequences.

Code
<style>
#searchButton {
  color: #00F;
  font-weight: bold;
  border-sizing: border-box;
  border-radius: 4px;
  bottom-border: 1px solid blue;
  background-color: #eee;
  width: 27%;
  height: 30px;
  font-size: 12px;
  padding: 6px 6px;
}
#searchInput {
   height: 30px;
   border-radius: 4px;
   font-size: 14px;
   width: 70%;
}
</style>
