Too much spacing above and below menu bar

by Evochron Reavers January 5th 2012, 6:32 pm

Hi people.

I have a problem with the spacing above and below my menu bar. There is too much space between the header and the menu bar, and also between the menu bar and the top of the forum itself. The funny thing is that when I am logged in as Admin the problem is not there, but when I am logged in as a regular user, it is. Other forum users, whether they are a guest or a regular registered member, also see it.

I'm kinda out of options here. Any ideas?

Link to my forum: Evochron Reavers.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try to add in your Stylesheet:

Code:: td.bodyline+table[align="center"] { position: relative !important; bottom: 6px !important; }

What is a style sheet and where do you add it?
(sorry, im trying to get help from these threads too)

Thanks for the reply.

I tried this, no effect. Then again, I'm probably doing it wrong, I'm not that CSS-savy.

Should I just put it on the first 4 lines of the stylesheet or somewhere else? Somewhere below 'body' perhaps?...

Ok...

Go to Administration Panel => Display => Templates => General => overall_header => Edit

=> Find:

Code:: <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="{MENU_POSITION}">

and replace by:

Code:: <table class="navb" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="{MENU_POSITION}">

Save, then publish.

Add to CSS Stylesheet:

Code:: .navb{ position: relative !important; bottom: 6px !important; }

Thanks for the clear instructions. I have followed them to the letter, still no result. You can check out what I mean yourself if you want. The link is http://evochron-reavers.forumotion.net/

Replace from the stylesheet bottom: 6px !important; to bottom: 19px !important;

No effect, at least not for regular members and guests. It seems that whatever changes I make, only apply for me when I'm logged in as Admin.

To test this I have replaced the "bottom: 19px !important;" to "bottom: 0px !important;" and it removed the space between the menu and the forum for me as admin, but not for members and guests.

Any ideas?...

For mebers and guests that code worked, you have removed the code I see... Hem

by Evochron Reavers January 5th 2012, 9:23 pm

Respectfully, it didn't work. I have not removed anything, but followed your instructions. If you check out my page source you will see the code is there.
If it's working for you, could you please make a screenshot of you as a guest looking at the forum index and post it up for me to see? If it does work for you and not for me, there must be something else the matter.

Edit:
Here is a screenshot of me looking at the index as a guest. As you can see there is still too much space between the navbar and the rest: >

Anyone has any other suggestions?

The problem remains. I am still hoping to get some professional feedback on this issue. So if there is anyone who has seen this before or thinks he knows what the problem may be, I would appreciate any help.

Edit:
Below is the page source code of the forum index page. I was looking at it as a registered user (not admin) at the time (since the problem doesn't seem to occur when I'm logged in as Admin).
Most of it is gibberish to me, but maybe someone else can see what the problem is.
