Question What in my template .css code is causing this?

I am using the default Kunena template (un-edited) but something in my Joomla template is causing the Index,Recent topics etc. in Kunena menu to be too close together. I have attached a picture.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction to find out what is causing that?

Are you blending kunena template to your joomla template ?? if yes, uncheck the blending option and see what happen ?

It was actually my messed up Kunena .css files. I thought I had them untouched but not apparently. Got a clean set and now its all fine.

Moral of the story, don't mess with you Kunena .css files unless you actually know what you are doing. :whistle:

Absolutely! This is actually the message we've been trying to get through to people for quite a long time. This point is made in the FAQs page (see under the FAQs tab on the menu above):

How do I change the colours of my template in Kunena?

Another way of saying this is "How do I change my Kunena template?" The simple answer to this question is ... don't! Except in a few special cases, it is not necessary to change the Kunena template. Rather, if you want to change colours, text sizes or fonts, you should make those changes to your Joomla site template. In this way, when you upgrade Kunena, your forum template will apply the customised changes that you've made from one version to the next.

No matter what some people may say, you should never directly change the kunena.forum-min.css file. But, by the same token, I do not recommend that people should modify any files in the default template or "example" template either, because all those files that were created when you installed Kunena will be over-written whenever you upgrade Kunena. For a long time we had hundreds of problems with people who had not upgraded Kunena for months (or years) because of the customised changes that they'd made to their templates and, as a consequence, people continued to run into brick walls as far as support was concerned.

No-one is saying that you can't change anything - it's open source software, you can change anything you like - but people need to be aware of the consequences of how they go about changing things.

I like to keep my changes really simple. I don't change the core Kunena product. I change my Joomla site template. I am then able to upgrade Kunena knowing that all my customised changes will remain intact because my Joomla site template is doing all the work. Easy, reliable ... and it works.

If you change the files installed by Kunena, you need to remember that you will have to reapply those changes whenever you upgrade from one version to the next. If you put your CSS rules in your Joomla site template, that's one less thing to worry about ... until you change your site theme, that is.
