Does the door close like a good door should?

I need more info.

Todd,

That crack alone should indicate your action.

[lewens (Larry Ewens, C.M.R.I.C.)]

Sorry none of the above on one picture. Yes David it does indicate my action. A deeper investigation of what is causing this to happen.How old is the place, what type of foundation, drywall or lath and plaster, does the door close properly, is out of plumb, does the exterior appear to be square and plumb? This is one of those that cannot be determined by one quick look at one aspect of the problem.
