I am a total noob with this stuff – a quick look with my limited tools and understanding of all things that make this stuff work…

I THINK your rule here:

.buddypress ul li {
    background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%;
    padding: 0px;
}

Is over-writing the rule here:

.main-nav li {
    white-space: nowrap;
    float: left;
    font: 12px "OpenSansBold";
    text-transform: uppercase;
    padding: 7px 20px 11px 0px;
    letter-spacing: -1px;
    text-shadow: 0px 0px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}

Which is what is being used on your home page.

I think if you find the padding 0px on the .buddypress ul li line and change it to padding: 7px 20px 11px 0px; — that will fix your top nav current issue – now will that adversely affect some other ul li / menu or list somewhere (like a widget or something) – I don’t know.

I am guessing that someone smarter then me can craft a rule that would work better and more specific.. something like
.buddypress main-nav ul li

padding: 7px 20px 11px 0px;
}

I have no idea if that would work – my understanding of css is like level 1 and bp is like level 1/2 – lol

I also THINK that you have a weird triple css / child theme thing going on – again I don’t know, but looking at your css code rules in the firefox inspector, it looks like your pages are loading the exact same css file three times?

I made a similar mistake with my first child theme – copying the whole shebang into a new child theme folder.. actually what you want is a relatively blank new folder and a relatively blank style.css that only includes rules you are going to overwrite / change from the parent theme.

I don’t have access to your files or know the exact setup and may even be wrong in my understanding of what the firefox property inspector is showing – but you may want to look into why every rule appears to load the exact same three times and overwrites itself twice..

hope this helps – not sure any of this is right..
