How to change Font Padding for forumhead (or tcat)

Old post, but I figured this out for those searching.

In forumbits.css, forst under forumhead I gave my forumhead a height:

(last line)

forumhead {
	background: {vb:stylevar forumhead_background};
	_background-image: none;
        padding: 0;
	font:{vb:stylevar forumhead_font};
	color:{vb:stylevar forumhead_color};
	clear:both;
	margin-top: 0;
        height: 30px;

Then further down, I added the following:

.forumbit_nopost .forumhead .forumtitle a {
	color: {vb:stylevar forumhead_color};
	margin-{vb:stylevar left}: {vb:stylevar padding};
        padding-left: 120px;
        float:left; height:50%; margin-top:4px;
}

The padding pushes it over, and the margin-top pixel count is what moves it up and down, just adjust it to wherever center of your forumhead row happens to be.
