Hi! I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to change the login position. I don't like it randomly floating at the top corner.

Is there a way I can get it to be placed below the navigation bar?
I like how this forum has it placed http://soshified.com/forums/

was actually wondering too but had not looked into it yet.

Add 3 <br> at the top (in red).

Paste it right above:

<div id='content' class='clear'>

Now, you need to adjust CSS (ipb_styles.css)
Adjust:

#user_navigation {

background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #2B4F74;

border-color: #1C334E;

border-radius: 0 0 6px 6px; (change to: border-radius: 6px 6px 6px 6px;)

border-style: solid;

border-width: 0 2px 2px;

float: right;

font-size: 0.9em;

position: absolute;

right: 10px; (change to: right: 15px;)

top: 7px; (change to: top: 195px;)

width: 284px;

z-index: 9999;

}

I'll mess with that this weekend, thanks Broni.
