I found a thread but that was for 2.0 RC3 and the coding is different.  Help?

Basically I don't need the site slogan, so I left that empty but where the site slogan space is, it pushes the header logo to the left and leaves huge amount of blank space on the right.

Add this to the end of index.css. :)
#siteslogan, img#smflogo {
    display: none;
}
h1.forumtitle {
    text-align: center;
}

No workie :(

The mobile view of the default theme, still shows to the left, i think maybe the coding for the site slogan needs to be removed?

Ok, hang on while I check responsive.css too.

Ok, find this in responsive.css:
h1.forumtitle a, h1.forumtitle {
    padding: 5px 0 0 4px;
    max-width: 300px;
    margin: 10px 0;
}

Change it to this:
h1.forumtitle a, h1.forumtitle {
    padding: 5px 0 0;
}

I tested it live. It works. Try hard refreshing your browser. If necessary, clear the cache too.

How are you getting that image as well as the forum name?

I think I know what you are asking?  So the desktop image, you can see the spacing is equal left and right sides.  The mobile, I just resized my browser to show the mobile mode.  I also looked at it on 2 phones and the same thing, pushed to the left. as the forum name?  do not understand that part of the question

Oh now I understand, the forum name I blocked out.  That is not text, it's text i converted to lineart as an image.

Ok, the problem is this in responsive.css:
    #header {
        margin-left: 0;
        margin-right: 0;
    }

Header width is set to 90% in index.css, which should have been overidden in responsive.css if the left and right margins were going to be removed (may be an RC4 bug - will check).

Solutions:
1/ Set #header width to auto:
#header {
    width: auto;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
}
or...
2/ Set the margins back to what they originally were in index.css:
#header {
    margin: 0 auto;
}
Either of those should work.

I did the first one, not the second one, it worked.  which do you suggest to use?

thank you for your valuable time in this.

It doesn't really matter which one you use. They both do much the same thing. :)

Ok I thought with coders there is a way of doing things like less code, efficient coding.  proper syntax, etc.  you know how they say don't jumble all your coding together like a run on sentence, make it neat, legible, etc.  haha, you da man/woman (not sure what gender). thanks.

Technically the second option is marginally more efficient, but it's not something you will ever notice when using the site. :)
