Hello!! I'm very much a beginner at CSS, I know a couple of basics but not much else. I've been attempting to tweak and add to the free css I've been using to make my page more compact, and I'm stuck on trying to relocate the comments box. Is there a way to move it up so it's in the spot where the black area is (pics for reference)? The only thing I could think of myself was the "top" property, but that left a big empty space behind that I couldn't figure out how to get rid of.

The comment box section of my CSS is in the spoiler, and here's a link to the stylesheet i'm using for good measure. You can look at my profile as well if you need live visuals :) Would love to get this figured out!!

#makeComment {
width: 500px;
height: 40px;
float: left;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
background: #D2B4AD;
margin-left: 30px;
position: absolute;
top: 740px;
}


and


#commentBox {
border: none !important;
border-radius: 0px !important;
float: left;
height: 200px !important;
width: 500px !important;
background: #D2B4AD;
margin-left: 30px;
position: absolute;
top: 534px;
}

Hope this helps! What a creative idea honestly!

Oh what lemme see how to get rid of the space

Edit: Actually it should just get rid of the space after you move the comment boxes

Second Edit: Don't forget to add in margin-left! Comment box was left at top: 534px so there would be some natural space between the box and post. And then you can turn the background box from black to your box color.

AH OKAY that almost worked!! It's super close to where it should be, and I thought I'd be able to just change the "top" property again so It'd fit, but it doesn't change when I edit the pixels for some reason.



(Thanks for the edits, by the way - I totally screwed it up the first time X] )

^^ I think the comment section might be moving around depending on whether you have a notif or not - I checked to see what my profile looked like using my alt, and it was aligned way closer to how it should be - however, when I dismissed my rabies notification, it moved back to how it looks from my main's point of view. Unsure about why it does this. D:

So I have two solutions:

Configure your css to where all notifs will have display:none;. Wacky and will get rid of notifs on your den, but it'll do the job lol.

The other is to configure it so that there will be a preset gap to where the notifs will pop up. So the gap to where notifs are will still be there even after you dismiss your notifs. You can try a small image to fill up the space lol

How would I go about adding a preset gap? It seems like that would work pretty well!

Try adding:

div.col-md-9.col-xs-12>h1{

margin-top: 100px;
}

And that should position everything nicely after that. However, there may be cases where there's also the rabid notif and other notifs, so you might want to do 200-250px instead. After that, you can then add 100-150px to the commentbox positioning and you should be golden

I'm hoping margin-top will do the job and not just add a margin to the already existing notifs. Tell me if it does

Unfortunately it does seem to have just added a margin to the notifs...


(with a notif)


(without a notif)

AHA! Fixed it too! Additionally, add these to all your notif css:

position: absolute;
width: 97%;

And that should be the end. Sorry for the hassle!
