Hello good people,
How can we tighten up the rather spacious area at the top of the forum pages?
In our WordPress theme, after our breadcrumbs, we have less than a half of an inch space before the entire Simple-Press forum begins. We got that spacing tightened up by telling the CSS to use a negative margin for the top of the forum.
The part that is really rough is the three inches in the forum upper area BEFORE any forum content is displayed.
Our forum looks like this (after our breadcrumbs):
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

We'd REALLY like to unstack that breadcrumb and put it all on one line (it's redundant in our theme anyway).
How can we make each of the single items, which use a row by themselves or almost alone, join other rows?
E.g. Last visited date, Advanced Search, and the page numbers and Add Topic button?
Thank you for your help. I begin to feel I'm going to learn how to design a them now...

3 inches? Sounds like your WP theme might be adding something in there and it is CSS 'leakage'. Can not tell of course, without looking at it.
Simple:Press is displayed using templates (found in the /templates folder of the SP theme you are using) and everything you mention above can be found in the spHead.php template which is displayed on all views.
If you spend a few minutes just looking at the flow in that template and comparing it with what is displayed then you should quickly understand that flow and see how it is basically constructed.
each function has a host of arguments all documented in our Codex that can change various display factors. For example, the breadcrumbs has a 'tree' argument that when set to 0 (zero) will display the breadcrumbs all on a single line.
You can move items around, remove items, change items, show buttons as icons or labels etc. Whatever takes your fancy!
As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)
