    Default Help with Center Box

    Hello everyone. I'm having trouble with this for a while. I've used a template and customized it a little and it's not working too well. The center box's categories are all messed up and off center. Can anyone help me get them centered again? Thanks!

    Thanks!

    PS, if you click on the category books or any category that has other subcategories they come up left aligned and no matter what I do to try and get it centered it doesn't work. I don't know if its just the css is broken or what. I've downloaded the original several times now and it's still not working. The only thing I changed to it is the logo section so that it gets centered on the screen and the border around the centerbox so that it's solid not dotted as well that it's height is 100% so it stretches all the way down below the categories. Everything else should be the way it was from the download. The right sidebox is a little off too, but I don't know if there's anything I can do about it. But if anyone has any pointers I'm all ears. :) Thanks again!

    Let me guess: you have a nice big widescreen monitor. But for those who don't, setting the logo to 1600px wide puts it way offscreen to the right.

    The #mainWrapper is set to 100%, and fills the screen appropriately on a 1024x768 monitor. I can't tell how it behaves on a larger one.

    You may want to post in the Purpleshades template support thread. There might even already be an answer you can use there.

    Your right about the widescreen. If it looks ok on a normal screen then I guess I'm not going to stress about it. I just don't understand why it started doing that all of a sudden, it didn't used to but then like 2 months ago, a month after I changed it started doing that. Anyway, thanks for the help. Lou

    On mine the logo makes you have to scroll to the right. You might want to change the width of the logo (narrower). I'm on a laptop at 1280x800 and it hangs off the right side of the screen. I didn't fire up the desktop to check it out.

    It looks like the main body itself is okay, but the logo makes it look lopsided because it forces the scroll.
