First and foremost I would like to thank you for this great forum, it is convenient and not rivaled by any other forum plugin I've tried.

Unfortunatley though, I've seem to run into a few errors while trying to impliment the Forum onto my website. After following the instructuions given on installation I ran into a few issues.

The forum navigation is stuck on the left side and goes down as opposed to across as it should. There are I'm guessing boreders around things that shouldn't be bordered, and other general display issues I ran into. I know it has to be a result of the layout I'm using, which does not help my situation because as it seems, the information given with the plugin to correct many of these issues has not been really helpful with the current Theme I'm using. That, ir it's my lack of Coding skill showing again. I also have some issues with logging in.

When I attempt to login as an administrator it takes me to my wordpress administration page, and when I go back to the forum it says I'm not logged in. So I tried making another account to see if there was a difference… The registration worked fine, but once I logged in with the given password I had the same issue, it would log in but would say I'm logged in as guest right after. Sorry if that was a lot to read, I've been trying to figure it out on my own but I might as well come here, hope someone can help. It's much appreciated, I'd love to be able to actually work on the site and get it up and running…

Thanks in advance for your time. The url to the forum is: http://www.perspectiveshift.net/?page_id=285

Take Care

Thanks for the speedy reply.

 It helped with the display issue, however, the login is still not working correctly for me. I can't log in as an administrator, or as the other general member account I created. Any idea as to why that might be happening?

I don't believe so. I was just messing around with the Forum to see if it was something else, but I guess not.

My current activated plugins are as follows:

All In One SEO Pack

Dragon Design Site Map Generator

Drop Cap First Character

FireStats

FlickrRSS

Google Adsense Widget

PageLinks To

Simple Press Forums

Unavtivated Plugins:

Akismet

Hello Dolly

and Site Unavailable

None of these plugins really go hand in hand with the WP Login/Register system.

No, they were two different URLs. I changed that now and visited the forum and it says I'm logged in. So I believe that works now. Thanks

your wp theme is adding extra styling (mainly borders) to tables and their elements…  if you are not using tables on your site, I would just remove them from the style.css

look in the area of lines 51, 52 and 53 for table, tr and td styling…

if you want to leave those in your theme, you will need to override them in the spf skin… if you do this, make sure you create your own instead of just modding the one you are currently using (see the online help in your spf admin area)…

I use that structure theme (an older, heavy modded version) on one of my sites (http://cruisetalk.org)…  I think to get rid of the extra styling, I simply added the following lines to the end of the css file (actually its in another that I include after the base style file to allow my mods without changing the theme file (wp has child themes now which does the same)

.post tr, .post td{
border: none;
}

after removing all those table, tr and td entries, did you clear your browser cache?  you might not be seing the changes..  when I remove those styles from your site (with firebug), it gets a whole lot better…  I would remove the entire styling for table, tr, td, etc…

the structure theme doesnt, or at least didnt when I first grabbed it, use tables anywhere itself….  so unless you have added tables on pages or posts, you should be okay…
