Is there a way to remove the logo section of the template so that the jomsocial top-header menu lines up next to the main menu?

Thanks.

Hello kevin

Ofcourse there is a way. You can make codes to do whatever you want it to do. It only depends how good you understand it
Open this file

ROOT/templates/socialize/tpls/blocks/header-jb.php

Find this code

        <div class="logo-<?php echo $logotype ?>">
          <h1>
            <a href="<?php echo JURI::base(true) ?>" title="<?php echo strip_tags($sitename) ?>">
              <?php echo $logoimage ?>
              <span><?php echo $sitename ?></span>
            </a>
            <small class="site-slogan hidden-phone"><?php echo $slogan ?></small>
          </h1>
        </div>

We're getting there... I removed what was suggested and the area definitely shrank in size but it's still definitely there. I then also tried removing the entire LOGO part as well as the HEADER beneath it but there's still quite a bit of grey in between the topbar and menu.
