space between "post author" and "last comment date"?

cica

hey,

how can I add space between the postauthor and lastcommentdate?
at the moment it looks like this:
"cica18 January"

it also happens in the "Who's online" widget:
"cica4:15"

any ideas?

Yes this can happen, but it can be fixed by adding padding or margin to those elements. Try using a web inspector like firebug or chrome web inspector.

.whoimage {
height: 30px !important;
width: 30px !important;
float: left;
margin-top: -1.5px;
margin-left: -3px;
border-radius: 4px;
}

.DataList .Meta span {
padding-right: 4px!important;
}

I would have to look at it . You have a private forum so all I can see is the sign in form.

The inspectors work the same way , you right click on the element you want to change on the page and inspect element. Look at the html part that is highlighted and look at the box in the right with the css.

Test out the possibilities right there by editing it inside the web inspector. It the easiest thing in the world once you figure out how to use it.

ok now i get it i'm able to set margin and it works with the space.
now i got the custom.css from my theme and tried to change that, but can't find where the margin is, i look for. there are many and i don't want to change everything, only that little "bug"

Some codes may not exist in the style sheets you can put them in as needed.

If it does not have a margin, you can put it in if it helps. Or padding or anything else to modify it.

it works at last. now i got 2px margin everywhere on the forum, but that's ok with me now.

In the parts you don't want that margin you can put margin:0; or whatever works.
