Hello, your title (HELLOOO) is not specific and therefore does not facilitate research via the search option. I am not answering (nor is any other member) until you change your title to a more specific title related to your problem.

We ask you to use explicit titles because:

The forum's search engine bases its research on keywords found in topic titles.

When you do a research, do you use "help", "urgent", "problem", "SOS" or "question" as keywords to look for topics about your problem/question?

Certainly not! So this is why it is important to use titles related to your problem/question. Doing this makes the researches much easier for visitors who use the search engine to get an answer to their question.

Thanks for your understanding.

Cordially

Sorry, changed title.

I think this may have to do with css, should I post it here?

Try adding this to your CSS.
Replace XY with your number.

Code:: .portal { margin-left: -XYpx; }

That is if I understood you right, you want the center the portal page.

Yes i want to center the portal page. What is the number i should replace x and y with?

by Nera. May 14th 2011, 2:29 pm

Try -60px.
First search in your CSS do you already have the rule wit margin-left: auto; If you have it replace it with

Code:: .portal { margin-left: -60px; }

If you don't have it just add this and it should work.

Hmm it doesn't work Sad

I've added another widget to the portal so you can see better what I mean.

The new's is on the left side, recent topics and links in the middle and the log in widget on the right.

But it doesn't get centered Sad

You didn't remove the existing portal rule margin auto, that is why it doesn't work. You must remove that one.

Code:: .portal { margin-left: auto; }

And if you are planning on adding more widgets to the side the number must be heigher.

Ah ok I removed to log in widget and it centered perfectly Very Happy

But isn't pixels different on each screen. Like is it still centered on all moniters of different resolution?

by Nera. May 14th 2011, 2:44 pm

Than it should be auto. I would try adding widgets on both sides and leave it on auto center.
Can't please them all, like browsers, so screens.
FM bugs on smaller screen for me.

You could wait for someone else to take a look.
