ok, here's the deal. FOR SOME REASON this skin is crunching the boxes up, and I cannot seem to fix it, but I am still trying. We may just need to use a new theme.
Also: very bad news.
My photoshop expires TOMORROW after having it for 5 years. I didnt even know serial codes expired. And I no longer have the code.
BUT fear not! I can still help with forum set up and I am ordering photoshop CS5, so it will be to me shortly. Yay. Until then. keep the background color as it is (red) because the designer of this skin made it integrate with some other forum elements, so changing it to white, for example, would ruin things.
I'll see what I can do about all this...may just need to make a skin from scratch...which will be tricky w/o photoshop...merp.
