Unwanted Gap


How would I reduce the gap seen here between the top 'Post New Topic' link and the actual forum table?

The bottom link is positioned where I want it, but I'd like to remove this area of white space between the top link and the forum contents.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Unwanted Gap


Hi Billy,

I just added this to your CSS:

quote:

.ak_msg_topiclist_abovetopics_table {
   margin-top: -20px;
}


Just adjust that number until it's where you want it.

Now for something that isn't quite as easy. The placement of that link below the ad looks good, but here's what premium users see:

I'll have to give that one some thought.

Re:


I tried this:

.topiclistpostnewtopic a, .postlistaddareply a {
display: block;
text-align: left;
margin: 20px 0 -20px;
width: 940px;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 14px;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

That centers the "post new topic" and "add a reply" between the nav bar and the topics list but the bottom link repeat is pushed down from where you want it by two html <br> codes... I'll have to think about that...

Re: Unwanted Gap


This should make it look the same as it does now for free accounts, but not mess it up for premium users:

quote:

br+br+br+.topiclistpostnewtopic a {
   margin-top: -20px;
}
.ak_msg_topiclist_belowtopics_table+br+br+.topiclistpostnewtopic a {
   margin-top: -20px;
}



Edit to add: You can combine those like this, if you want:

quote:

br+br+br+.topiclistpostnewtopic a,
.ak_msg_topiclist_belowtopics_table+br+br+.topiclistpostnewtopic a {
   margin-top: -20px;
}


...or leave them separate if you want to tweak them individually.

Re:


Thank you very much, guys emoticon

I hid the bottom link as I don't really see the point of it. I use a lot of forums and although a link at both the top and bottom of the forum table is standard, I don't think I've ever used the bottom link to post a new topic.

I've also right aligned them.

So that's that fixed, but I noticed something else. When I go from the main board page to one of the forums (say 'News', for instance) there is a shift in the black link bar under the header. It actually increases in length, pushing the 'Chat Room | Support | Links | RSS' links out to the right.

Is there any way to stop this shift?

[EDIT] I think I can see what is happening, but I don't know how to fix it. The tables for the forum pages are wider that the table on the main board page, which causes the miscoptbar to strecth with the tables.

[EDIT EDIT] Fixed it. When I right aligned the 'Post New Topic' and 'Add Reply' links, I added a 15px right margin to take it away from the edge. This, of course, was increasing the width and causing the shift.

Cool beans. emoticon You're very welcome. It's looking great! emoticon Nice and clean, and easy on the eyes. emoticon

You might want to check the 'Preview' button on the 'add reply' and 'edit post' screens. I assume the one on the 'new topic' screen is how you want the preview button to look?

Oops! What's it doing over there?

And thanks again to you both. Glad you approve of the look emoticon

[EDIT] That's all the preview buttons fixed. Thanks for pointing it out, L.
