I've substituted the default category strip with a new set I've made akin to the setup here...

The dimensions of the new images are smaller than the aforementioned default. This is causing a problem in regard to the placement of other items.

There's now a space/gap between the table header and forum. On the memberlist.php, there is a similar gap/space between the Category strip and member list table.

My question is, what do I need to do in order to correct this display error?

I'm running the latest version of vBulletin, and have edited the following templates to display said category set.

FORUMDISPLAY
FORUMHOME
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
postbit
postbit_legacy

Have you looked at the source code to see if the height of the row/columns is set? You may have to change the height (or set it) to get it to look right. Look at the source code for the page you are trying to emulate and see how they dealt with this issue.

In the Additional CSS Definitions portion of the Style Manager (pertaining to a specific skin in any case), altering this tidbit of code sufficed my concern.

/* ***** small padding on 'thead' elements ***** */
td.thead, th.thead, div.thead { padding: Xpx; }



Thanks Lynne for your swift response and input, it's appreicated.

When you have an available moment, do you think you could answer another inquiry of mine?

This question is regarding member profiles. I would like to add more options to the Customize Profile section of the UCP, specifically transparency. Is there a core css file where the standard selections are derived from?

Thanks.

What version of vbulletin are you running? Member Profiles are very different between the two. In 3.7, there is a whole template that contains the CSS for that page (memberinfo_css).

I’m running version 3.7 Lynne. Will editing the abovementioned template alone make transparency viable?

I apologize for the belated response.

I would try and see? I have not upgraded my site to 3.7, so I'm not real familiar with modifying it. I have had to look in that template a few times to help others with small profile css issues, but haven't done any real in depth look there.
