News fader removal

[dkharp]

hello,

I know that this may not be related over here. But I want to try.  On the SMF default theme. Above the tabs and below the logo. You can see the search bar and news fader. It sits on a off color. How can I remove that hole part out of the header?

To give you can idea. http://www.texasteamplayers.com/

This is what mine looks like. http://www.36thid.info

can anyone please help with this?

Very nice site dkharp. You have a big board. Do you have access to the big boards section at SMF? Anyone with 500k posts or more is given special access to that board at SMF.

Anyway, on your site I do not see the bar that you are talking about. It is likely because you have to be logged in to see that part. Can you attach your index.templat.php file so I can take a look?

Hey Bloc!

Man I messed up. I entered their website twice. I have edited it and added my site. That is. www.36thid.info  My bad...lol

Per your request I have added my index.template.

Well I'm not Bloc, but I'll take that as a compliment.
Glad you got it figured out. See what happens when you try!
