Thanks for the quick reply. I keep messing with it after I made the original post but never saw the button move (due to VPN caching pages), so deleted all my code and stopped for the day. However after seeing the screenshot you sent I knew something I tried worked so I just went back and figured it out this afternoon. What I did is below tested in Firefox, Chrome, IE:
#mailchimp-top-bar.mctb-icon-inside-bar .mctb-close {
position:static;
float: left!important;
}
Thanks again for your help and a great plug-in
