No, sorry it's not a simple fix. I have all kinds of code to make my latest activity fill 2 columns. Not even sure I can pull it all together for you. And it depends on your layout. I'll take a look.

Best,

Jen

Oh, I can't help. I looked at your site, and you already have LA in wide column on left, which is the equivalent of my coding on the old Editor.

Good luck,

Jen

You probably should have gone with 3 column layout. I promise you, you will see some odd stuff in the future.

I advise not going this route, just based on my experience with Ning sites.

 

Below is the CSS I could locate in all of my CSS, that widens the LA on JenSocial, so you'll have the classes. Here's the thing, I'm adding 2 extra lines of code I found for adjusting other elements, so you see how deep this can get. The first 2 lines, and the last lines.  Also, if these classes do not work for you, you have an error in your CSS. If you do, try adding test CSS to top of Advanced CSS. This is a strong indicator that there is an error somewhere in your code.

 

Another reason I advise not going this route, it's a unique customization. For example, few ning sites could grab the following code and use it.  The modules must be located in a certain place, other modules pushed down, etc... It can truly be unique to each case.

 

Good luck,

Jen

Sorry, I've helped all I can on your customization. It takes time, and you will continue to have a snowball effect.

Best of luck with this. It is a great way to learn Ning CSS, no doubt.

Yeah but how too resize latest activity is what I'm talking about
I have it in the middle column with two column layout, i resized to float left
Groups,events,blogs,forum,birthdays video,photos. Now how do resize latest activity?
none of these are in the left hand column they are all in
the middle and have been resized. I just want the code for latest activties container name, header
and body so I can tweek it. If you can put latest activity in the
left column I pretty sure you can put it in the middle with two column
layout and resize it to the left like I did to the others.
