This should work:

in wp-admin.css, add “display: none;” to #update-nag

Yep, thanks to you! =)

No problem – sorry for being cryptic! Let me show you what I mean:

The distance I’ve marked X in the image is the distance in pixels that is established when using the div tag margin or padding. So, all the following seem to make the distance I’ve marked X to be 200 pixels:

<div style="padding-top: 200px;">
<div style="margin-top: 200px;">
<h2 style="margin-top: 200px;">

etc.

I find this confusing, because it then seems that the entered padding/margin has no regard for the Pages links (“Home”, “About”, “Forums”) – it just behaves as if they were not there. The <br> line breaks seem to exhibit the same behavior.

I am further confused, because even when these margins/paddings are set to zero px, the ads are still BELOW the Pages links, and they are not in the same place. Meaning sometimes, it seems to pay attention to, but other times, it just has no regard for, the Pages links.

Help, please! =D

Thanks again!!

So it worked on trial one, but when I played with it some more, it failed me again. Then I started fidgeting around with the values, and I have confirmed that, actually, everything we’ve talked about works (padding, line breaks, margins, etc.) – but they just all start from the “Home” Pages link. So it takes an excessive amount of padding/margin/line breaks to bring the h2 “Sponsors” down.

This perplexes me, as someone who has only worked primarily with HTML in the past, because I wonder why the h2 “Sponsors” doesn’t overlap with the Pages links when the margins/paddings/line breaks are all zero?

Thanks again for your help!

Thank you so much, Ben! The h2 margin worked like a charm. Do you know why none of the div tags, or even the br line breaks, would work?
