# CSS wizard needed. (bbpress MOSTLY done.)

 * Hey guys/gals.
    [http://pembsdoe.org.uk](http://pembsdoe.org.uk) is my site. 
   Experimentally skinned forum is at /bbpress off that site.
 * I’m finding it quite easy to get things together quite quickly, but I’ve never
   had much experience with relative sizing and “em” measurements. I’m sure it’s
   quite trivial, but could someone point out how to kick the menu back into line
   and make it behave like the one of the main site (size wise.) (Presumably I need
   to make 1em the same size for both somehow ?)
 * Also, if anyone can work out what the darker patch at the top of the sidebar 
   is, that would be great. (I know it’s terribly messy and a bit stark at the moment.)
 * Thanks for any help, James.

 * _how to kick the menu back into line_
    Please use standard english phrase/expression
   because I don’t get what you’re saying.
 * _make** it** behave like **the one** of the main site (size wise.)_
    So, make**
   which one** behave like **which one of the main site**?
 * Are you referring to the following menu?
    `News Opportunity Gallery .....`

 * Sorry. Ok, here goes. The grey coloured horizontal “News Opportunities Gallery…”
   menu is the one I’m interested in. (I know the links don’t work on the /bbpress,
   but I’m more interested in the sizing at the moment.)
 * Compared with the *same* menu on the actual homepage, the sizes of the boxes 
   dispayed when hovering are wrong (appear to be larger) even though the actual
   CSS governing the menu is identical.
 * As all the sizes for this particular menu are specified in ems, I assume some
   other definition in the css file is scaling them. I hope I’m being clear enough?
   Thanks, James.

 * In bbpress.css, you have the following
    `p, dl, textarea, li { line-height: 150%;}
 * If you exclude the **li**, it will fix it, I suppose.

 * Ah thanks very much. I should have spotted that.
 * Many thanks, James.
