Simple.css uses a divs-only (no-tables) layout for pages. In a complex dynamic site like Tiki, this is vulnerable to breaking when something on a page doesn't respect or over-rides the div it's contained in. At tikiwiki.org, ))PhpLayersmenus are not turned on. These can interfere with simple's layouts. If you want to use simple.css, turn offPhpLayers(( menus for best results.

I don't know what's going on with the confirmation dialog, but maybe something similar. To fix it, the code for the dialog would have to be looked at and made to conform to the no-tables style. I don't know if simple.css's authors are still developing this theme or if someone else wants to continue it.
