I'm using a Rocket Theme template

1. In JFBC Config I've set the Reg Display Mode to Horizontal but the form still displays vertically www.paintball-asia.com - can this be easily modified?
2. Page loading times seem extremely slow due to JFBC www.paintball-asia.com
3. What file do i need to mod so I can add padding above and below the buttons as they appear too close to my article text?

Thanks for any advice

Grant,
1) The registration page for JFBConnect is displaying horizontally. When I try to login, the 'login' portion of the form is on the left hand side, and the registration portion is on the right-hand side. When set to vertical, the login section will be on top and the registration section would be on the bottom. I'm seeing that when I go to the following page:
www.paintball-asia.com/index.php/compone...register&return=Lw==
2) JFBConnect loads the Facebook library to do a lot of work. Depending on what features you've enabled, especially the widgets like the Fanbox, Like buttons, etc, they can each cause extra delay on the page. From my own testing, it doesn't seem very slow at all. I'm not sure if you've disabled things though. Additionally, testing your page using Pingdom, it's not the fastest in the world, but not very slow either:
tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/xGAejiuAv/http:....paintball-asia.com/
2.5s load time, 57% faster than all other sites tested. .8s of that is the rendering and delivery of the main HTML (the first bar), whereas the rest is pulling of extra content, executing Javascript etc. Those are pretty normal times for a site with a lot of images, javascript, etc, like yours.
3) To add more padding above and below the social buttons /comment box, add the following to your template's stylesheet:
.scsocialbuttons { padding: 10px 0}

Hope that helps answer all of your questions, but if you have more, just let me know!

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks Alex

Must be some template conflicts going on as I have it set to horizontal but it still comes out vertical. Rocket themes use some complex templating systems so I'll probably have to sort out a workaround.

I'll try and reduce the options that JFBC uses as I figured those added to the load times.

Thanks for the CSS tip - just what I wanted.

When I go to the page I linked to above, on the left-hand side of the screen in the component area, I see the "Welcome Alex!" with 2 forms. There's a login section on the left, and a registration section on the right. Those are placed side-by-side with each other. Each form is vertical (the fields are on top of each other), but they are placed horizontally, next to each other. I've attached a screenshot of the Registration form that I see:

If you're seeing something different, let me know. If you change that "Registration Display Mode" setting to vertical, those two forms won't be side-by-side, they will be on top of each other.

If you need anything else, just let us know. Many of our users use RocketTheme templates, so you shouldn't really have any issues there... we've worked through most issues with our extensions and their templates at one point or another, so we can help if you need it.

Best of luck, and let us know if you need anything else!

Thanks,
Alex
