The bit missing is the grey section next to 'polls' that runs all the way up to and past the search box on
www.lactivist.net. I tried taking off the search box but it made no difference.
Thanks, sorry to be thick but I can't see what I am supposed to do on the first bit you suggested, there seems to be no option for that, and on the css inserts there is no place to change code just this:
CSS Inserts Add CSS code here that you want to append to your theme's CSS file.
So it looks like I can add code but not take it away or change it
