Default Sandstorm skin problem

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I need little help.
I got a problem with the sandstorm skin.
I'm using bulgarian language for my forum, but there is something wrong in the bar under the logo.

screenshot - > http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/4042/problemwf6.jpg

Do you see how this ... line goes through the bar and make the words hard to read and also make the image of the forum ugly. I think this is because in the translation the words are made too long and the bar needs more space so it become bigger but that line doesn't move with the bar. I tried with other languages but they are fine. This problem is only for the bulgarian language.
Any suggestions ?

I'm changing some stuff so don't wonder why the forum looks unfinished :P

Yes, the text needs more space than the userlinks bar is giving it.

I have 2 ideas to fix it, try this one first:

Go to your Stylesheet and search for:

Quote:
#userlinks { font-size: 12px;background-color: #F8E6B7;background-image: url(style_images/set_sandstorm.tar/userlinks.gif); }


#userlinks a:link { font-weight: bold;font-size: 12px;text-decoration: none;color: #312C44; }


#userlinks a:visited { font-weight: bold;font-size: 12px;text-decoration: none;color: #312C44; }


#userlinks a:active { font-weight: bold;font-size: 12px;text-decoration: none;color: #312C44; }
and change what is in red (just make the text smaller). Maybe try 10px-11px. By making the text smaller, it may make it all fit on one line without making it look odd. If not, I'll tell you my second idea for fixing this.

I tried with 10 but it doesn't helped. I was thinking that I can change the bulgarian translation so and it means the same with less words.
