just a little bit css… but hard to be specific since one cannot tell from an image – need to see what css your wp theme might be applying to widgets…  link works much better than image..

but see this link:  https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-plugin-topics/recent-forum-posts-widget-how-to-add-format/#p128031

for an example of what we do to ours (see in footer)…

if elements are together, it might be your widget options…

My apologies, I forgot to post a link to my site. Here you go – http://www.seganerds.com. 

did you try the suggestion?  appears it would work…  and the options allow you to do what you want after the user (line break, space, etc)… did you look at the widget options?

I’m attempting to, but I admit that I’m not incredibly knowledgeable with all of this.

Do I simply paste this code into my global css or does it need to specifically go into the WP stylesheet. If so, does it matter which section to paste the code?

This is the code I’m attempting to use:

}

.widget-wrapper .spAvatar {
padding-bottom: 3px;
float: left;
}
.spListItemTag img {
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
vertical-align: middle;
}

what do you mean by global css?  is that a theme option provided by your wp theme?  in the admin? if so, should be fine there…

but yes, just adding them to your wp theme anywhere should work…

but instead of .widget-wrapper, use .widget-container

Awesome, that worked great! However, there is still a lack of a space between the username and the topic title. Any suggestions on how to correct that?

did you look where I suggested you look?  in the widget options… you can affect elements, and what’s before and after elements…  if unsure, post a screenshot of your widget options…
