I apologize... (Grandma who doesn't know much about php)... http://www.jeffreyreeves.co/forum 

 

Rows look normal in the twentyten themes.  I am using Creativix.  Is there a simple fix? If not, I'll just use another theme as I am just getting started.  I am used to just using css to fix things but with this theme they have css in style.php and php code in their style.css. When I try to make changes, nothing seems to happen.  If you can fix it, please be very specific as to which file to put code.

Thanks much for your help and I will certainly donate to your cause as this forum is very well documented for us seniors..

You basically have two things playing havoc with the forum there from the wp theme:

.content div {
    clear: left;
    display: block;
}

is causing the big gaps and lack of cohesion in columns - both statements - and

.post p {
    display: block !important;
    line-height: 24px !important;
    padding-bottom: 10px !important;
}

is responsible for the big gaps between items in the stats area (for example). The line height and padding.

Problem is what effect would removing them have on the rest of the site?

Although you could define specials for the forum to follow to counter this.

What would those specials look like?  I do not understand that term?  Sorry again...

he means special css code to keep your wp theme from being too greedy...  so in either your wp theme or sp theme (make your own, dont edit ours to prevent losing changes on updates), add

.content #spMainContainer div {clear:none;}

.post #spMainContainer p {padding-bottom:0 !important;}
