 * Hi I am using 2 column Max Magazine for my site and whereas on most pages everything
   is OK on a few pages the text on the left of the content column is half hidden,
   for example at the start of a heading there is only half the letter N as it starts
   the word. Is there any way to move the text of all the content slightly to the
   right to avoid this problem please.
 * Also it has been reported by other users that some pages show a different size
   text when as far as I am concerned all pages have been typed directly in and 
   show up the same throughout the site. Any thoughts anyone please link is `http://
   eac.eu.com/newsite`
 * Regards

 * Hi,
    In your wp-members-2012.css file, it looks like your problem is your left
   margin here:
 *     ```
       #wpmem_reg, #wpmem_login {
           margin-left: -26px;
           padding-top: 30px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Not sure why you would have that as a negative, but if you change it to 0, the“
   N” on the Member Registration page moves over fine.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Many thanks Laura that has fixed that page. looking at the site the left hand
   boder makes the text very close to the edge of the page. Is there anyway I can
   change this for the whole site so that the text is a bit away from the edge of
   each page. You can tell I am technical from the wording here. 🙁
 * Many thanks for taking time out to try to help

 * Glad to hear that helped. Yes, you can change the content padding for the whole
   site. I should first menttion that if this is a theme that might have updates,
   you should make any kind of changes using a Custom CSS plugin. If you don’t, 
   any changes that you make will be lost when you update. Using the Custom CSS 
   plugin, or in your style.css file, you can add
 *     ```
       #content {
         padding-left: 20px;
       }
       ```
   
 * I’ve used 20px, but you can change it to whatever looks good to you.
 * Also, if you’d like to make other changes to the look of your site, installing
   Firebug could help you a lot.
 * Good luck!

 * Hi Laura

   my senior years I entered your coding but found some of my second columns in 
   a few pages of the site disappeared took the coding out byt the second column
   did not come back.
 * It is me not you I know that but I need these second columns back

 * Try changing your #content width to 610px. If you are using a Custom CSS plugin,
   you will need to use
 *     ```
       #content {
         padding-left: 20px;
         width: 610px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * If for some reason you need the content area to be wider, then you will need 
   to decrease the width of the sidebar.
 * Hope this helps.

 * Hi Laura Again I am grateful for your kind help. However I do not appear to be
   making much progress.
 * The website I am trying to get correct is `http://eac.eu.com/newsite`
 * Up until a couple of days ago I had all of my pages apart from the home page 
   with linking menus to items in that section by when publishing a page making 
   it a child of the main header page. For example EAC History under Page Attributes
   showed About EAC as the Parent page. This created a menu on the right hand side
   of the page detailing all of the pages that were children of the main page for
   example if you can look at `http://eac.eu.com/newsite/join-eac` you should see
   a main page with a menu of pages down the right hand column.
 * Now everytime I edit a page I am losing the right hand side menu.
 * I have used the plugin Custom CSS it now reads
 *     ```
       /*-- Enter your custom CSS below --*/
   
       /*--body--*/
   
       body {
       font family: helvetica,verdana,arial,serif
       font size: 12px,
       }
   
       /*--sidebar--*/
   
       #sidebar {
         width: 580px !important;
         float: left
         margin-left: 5px;
         margin-top: 20px;
       }
   
       /*--sidebar--*/
   
       #sidebar.widget {
       width: 320px !important;
       float:left
       margin-right:20px
       }
       ```
   
 * Which has got to be incorrect.
    This all started trying to move the content in
   the left hand content area a little to the right to prevent the first letter 
   half disappearing. Now I am in a bigger mess having lost my important menu’s 
   down the right hand side
 * I appreciate I am asking an awful lot but can you have a look at this for me 
   please and try to help me get these menu’s back
 * I shall be your humble servant for the rest of my life (it should be shorter 
   than yours I haven’t got many birthdays left as one of my dear friends tells 
   me each birthday :-)) Just don’t give me a job that needs kneeling my tin knees
   don’t fully bend as a result of MRSA but that is another story.
 * cheers

 * Hi I think I have solved that mystery I have removed the coding from the plugin
   and have rebuilt the pages from where the menu disappeared, it looks like it 
   is working but if you, or anyone else, would be good enough to check the site
   for visual presentation at `http:/eac.eu.com/newsite` and try a few pages and
   let me know I would appreciate it.
 * Many thanks
 * Dave

 * Hi Dave,
    I am seeing the sidebars now on the pages I checked, so it looks like
   you have solved the problem.
