I am using a third party theme called GoFlexible that sometimes places the footer in the center column, rather than at the bottom of the web page.
My home page points to a blank module and the block arrangement looks like this when users are not logged in:
Code
|---------------------------------------------------|
| header |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Nav Bar |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| | | |
| Main Menu | HTML BLOCK | Login Block |
| | | |
| | Quote Block | HTML Block |
| | | |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Footer |
|---------------------------------------------------|
When users login, I change block permissions so that different blocks are displayed. However, the footer moves to the center column:
Code
|---------------------------------------------------|
| header |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Nav Bar |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| | | |
| Main Menu | HTML BLOCK | Menu Block |
| | | |
| | News Block | Poll Block |
| | | |
| | HTML BLOCK | |
| |---------------------------------------|
| | Footer |
|---------------------------------------------------|
That HTML block just displays text within a table, and the code looks fine to me, so I don't think that's a problem, because the problem also appears when I go to other modules.
When I point to almost every core and third-party module I have installed, the block arrangment looks like this:
Code
|---------------------------------------------------|
| header |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Nav Bar |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Main Menu | Module |
| | |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Footer |
|---------------------------------------------------|
However, with one -- vpContact -- it looks like this:
Code
|---------------------------------------------------|
| header |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| Nav Bar |
|---------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Main Menu | vpContact |
| | |
| |---------------------------------------|
| | Footer |
|---------------------------------------------------|
I tried using other third-party themes and the problem does not occur.
What might I try changing in the GoFlexible theme to discover the cause of this problem and fix it?

As the former maintainer of the vpContact module who has abandoned it I strongly suggest you to switch to Formicula, which is much more advanced and under ongoing development and security patching.
Greetings,

I'll certainly look at Formicula - although I need to solve my more general problem of why the footer sometimes appears in the center column.
If this provides any clue, here's the body of the master template.
Code
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<!-- header -->
<!-- Background -->
<div id="header-section">
<a href="#"><img id="header-background-left" src="<!--[$imagepath]-->/img_logo.jpg" alt=""/></a>
<img id="header-background-right" src="<!--[$imagepath]-->/img_header.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
<!-- Navigation -->
<div id="header">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?name=CmodsDownload">Download</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php?name=CmodsWebLinks">Weblinks</a></li>
<li class="selected"><a href="index.php?name=pnForum">Forum</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php">Kontakt</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php">Registrierung</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- LEFT COLUMN -->
<!-- Navigation -->
<div id="left-column">
<!--[$leftblocks]-->
</div>
<!-- MIDDLE COLUMN -->
<div id="middle-column1">
<!--[$maincontent]-->
</div>
<!-- FOOTER -->
<div id="footer">
<!--[footmsg]--><br />
