    yes, I know it's a custom template, but the bars are visible even on the default template (almost impossible to see, but they are there). I read in another thread here to adjust the margin and or padding, but I have gotten nowhere. what is making the bars appear?

    I turned off the feature because it looked so bad. I can easily turn it on again if you have time to take a look!

    Of course, I just used this to straighten mine so it might be a similar problem

    You need to make sure background value for the following class is set correct on your postbit.css

    Code:
    .postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a, .eventbit .eventfoot .eventcontrols a

    At Mert's suggestion, I applied the same change (Social Bookmarking icons in 4.0.4)

    looks better, but the bars are now centered behind the icons

    makes sense, but how do I set the background value within postbit.css? I am just learning CSS, sorry for the hand-holding questions.

    EDIT: currently live at www.ModernFitnessForum.com

    Please try adding the following value all the way bottom of your postbit.css template

    HTML Code:
    .postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a, .eventbit .eventfoot .eventcontrols a { background: #999; }

    background: transparent; might be the ideal solution here... that way whatever it is behind it will show through. or perhaps even background: inherit; so it takes the parent element....
