You need to adjust the class .cforms in your cforms CSS theme file. Simply remove the auto from margin and replace it with whatever suits you.

Also, check out the CSS guide and webcast in this forum (stick posts at the top!) 

I too have a positioning problem... this is a fresh install, with the latest updates.

A positioning problem is always relative, it depends on what you're trying to achieve, which you haven't explained.

Looking at your page, I see you added the form via the widget control to your sidebar, so this worked ok, although it looks broken (can't squeeze a 400px wide form in a 200px wide sidebar!).

Two options:

1. Either choose the proper cforms CSS theme for the sidebar position: "sidebar layout"
2. Or remove the widget, and include your contact form in a post / page (see HELP! page for detailed instructions)

NP Oliver, will do. In the meantime... in case anyone else is interested in having the Shiny Style contact form in their WordPress sidebar, the following is the altered CSS stylesheet I used.

1.) Resize the top and bottom images width to 180px (../images/customform_shiny_bg.jpg) & (../images/customform_shiny_bg_bottom.jpg)

Cut, Copy & Paste the following to replace the existing stylesheet: shiny_style.css

That's It!!!! Good Luck, and thanks again Oliver
