 in the header
now i already got it from left to right but i want it a little bit more to the right because now its overlapping something
how can i move it?

im using the theme ''Reference'' by crip
i actually posted the same message in his Reference topic but still no reply yet
i kind of want this to be solved as quickly as possible
so thats  why im also asking here now

thank you!

That shouldn't be hard, have tried using some tool like firebug for firefox, or try pressing F12 if using IE, you can see what you need to change in CSS. As Reference is not custom theme, we can't give you exact steps and that too without showing us anything.. link or screenshot.

thats a screenshot of the header image and you can clearly see the userarea message
it needs to go more to the right

[AlyssaM]

i guess no one is able to help out then?

Find this in index.css

Code: [Select]

#userarea {
    color: #DDDDDD;
    float: right;
    font: 12px arial,sans-serif;
    height: 73px;
    padding: 20px 25px 0;
    text-align: left;
    width: 38em;
}
and change to

Code: [Select]

#userarea {
    color: #DDDDDD;
    float: right;
    font: 12px arial,sans-serif;
    height: 73px;
    padding: 20px 25px 0;
    text-align: right;
    width: 38em;
}
 Also the userarea is quite wide by default so you may also try adjusting the width as well.

thanks for responding!
but how is the text align gonna help me out ? it will only make the text start from the right side obviously
but then it will still be in the way
so you think of i adjust the width thing , the last part of it
it will make a difference as well?

[ARG]

Actually going by your image, adding margins and making the width a little smaller should help. Maybe start with 30em and adjust as needed.
It would be much easier to accurately assist if we had a live link to the site.

well i did change the width but instead of em i used px
for some reason its in the right top corner now and thats basically a good spot because its not overlapping anything any more

thank you for your help, very much appericiated
