Hey Crip,

Every time i got This theme loaded up as the main theme it slows the loading way down and prevents people from getting to the site some times. Ive tried to find the problem but so far i havent been able to. There will be times when it wont connect at alll. I contacted Godaddy and they said it isnt there end, Yet i know its not my end cause if i switch the themes they load alot faster. :\ 

Any advise?

i have this theme on my test site with no problems with load time, i would blame godaddy and their reputation of being an overseller. i think in the end the only solution will be to find a new host that is not an overseller.

It's just a really Heavy Theme , however it doesn't slow my Forum at all ..?

Crip nice theme.  One question,...  Is there a place in the index.css file to adjust that top border height size (it looks to be about 45 pixels - see my picture and the area with the red arrow).  I want it maybe only 5 pixels to show more of the page height.  I tried to adjust the code area below, but that didn't seem to change anything.  Thanks in advance.

Code Select Expand

/* the main title, always stay at 45 pixels in height! */
h1.forumtitle
{
   line-height: 45px;
   font-size: 1.8em;
   font-family: Geneva, verdana, sans-serif;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   float: left;

that part is part of the hdr-r.gif file, it would need to be edited to get it to work the way you want.

Ok, I'm looking at that now.  There is an hdr-l.gif file and an hdr-r.gif file.  I'm guessing that's for left and right header images.  So, I would need to crop out some of that top border on both to get this to work right - correct?

[Illori]

i am not sure on both, but as long as you backup the old files, it cant hurt to try.

[rad1701]

Ok, I cropped out some of those two files, but now I still have a problem.  On a wide screen monitor (1920 wide), there is area in the middle that is not cropped.  Also, the bigger issue is the forum content itself doesn't shift up at all.  So, I need to fix those two issues now too.  Any idea where in the index.css file (or elsewhere) it says how far down to start the forum?

Ok, I've gotten closer now.  But the trouble is I've just shifted up the forum logo and avatar on the right and fixed the background.  Now, the menu bar starts in the same place and there is a gap between the menu bar and the logo/header area. 

[rad1701]

Think I got it now!

Glad you sorted iit.
