Ok now I see. Actually the post container IS centered in the center area. You can see this by adding
HTML Code:
border: solid 1px red;
to ato->Style POSTS & PAGES->POST Container
What you want to do is center all the elements inside the 'post' container and the 'reply' container.
Go to ato->Style POSTS & PAGES->POST Container and add
HTML Code:
text-align:center;
you might want to do it for 'POST Container: STICKY' too.
To cause the 'comment' area to be centered, go to ATO->Style & configure COMMENTS->Comment Form Style and add
HTML Code:
text-align:center;
to it too
