Is it possible to position the FanBox with CSS? It's in the right module, but it's not exactly where I'd like it. I tried a module suffix/template CSS plan, but that doesn't seem to be working. It's possible that I have no idea what I'm doing. :)

Otherwise, I'm super happy with this so far! I wish I had a bit more control over the appearance of the individual modules (color, positioning), but for the time being everything is working perfectly! Thanks for an awesome suite of Facebook lusciousness!

Unfortunately, Facebook severely limits what we can 'inside' their modules to style it. This is to protect their branding and make it a similar experience across sites. There are a few things we can help you tweak here and there, but much of the inside portion is off-limits.

As for the positioning, you should be able to do that very simply. You can either use the moduleclass suffix, like you mention, or just shift all JFBCFan modules over with something like the following:
.jfbcfan {
margin-left: 10px;
}
If you go for the module suffix, it would be:
.moduletable<yoursuffix> {
margin-left: 10px;
}

As always, depending on your site/template, you may want to try padding-left: 10px. Hopefully, one of those get you going. If not, feel free to post a link to your page with the Fanbox, and if we can see the code, we can generally tell you exactly what to do.

Good luck, and thanks for the kudos on JFBConnect, we're glad you're liking it! :)

Well, I must have done something really silly so it didn't work before, because it works now. :rolleyes: Thanks!

I understand Facebook's need to control their brand, but sheesh! It kinda ups the ugly factor of my site. :) However, it's extremely functional, so I'm happy.

On a side note, I just noticed the "code" in your header image - that's awesome! How clever! And all of it true. :=D

Thanks again!

Heather,
Glad we could help. We'll take 10 silly questions over 1 hard one any day of the week! The easy stuff is much more fun to answer.

Should you need anything else, just let us know. I think you're the first person to ever mention the code in that header.. after a few years of it being there. One of these days, we'll be changing it with a slideshow of our extensions.. but like many things we plan to do.. it's in the 'one day' category.

Thanks for the complements on JFBConnect, and if you ever have any feedback, just let us know!
