the issue is login for some reason has a line break before and after the link I've searched everywhere in the css and the html pages as well as the php page i tried everything i can think of as well as what my software developer friend suggested but i cant remove the line breaks it's cause-in it for all links to have line breaks before and after them. any help greatly appreciated please email with a solution or respond i am really busy so email preferred

 

p.s. the en.php file displayed this also

define('_SIGNUP_INVALID_EMAIL_1', 'An account with the same email already exists.');
define('_SIGNUP_INVALID_EMAIL_2', 'Please %slogin%s to your account and go to the My Account page.%s There you will be able to upgrade your existing membership.%sForgot your Password%s');

What does the HTML source look like for that example output? I assume there are no erroneous <br/> tags or anything? It looks mildly like the login link has a css block styling.
