Try this in your stylesheet:
#members-dir-list .item-list li {clear:both;margin:0 0 2em 0;}
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		I’d add a top/bottom pad, too (say padding:5px 0;), but that’s just me! 
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		 @r-a-y i was having the same problem with my members list and this fixed it but i am also having the same problem with my group directory and and when I view the groups and friends list under my profile page.  Is there something that i can add to fix that too.  after i fixed the members page with this
#members-dir-list .item-list li {clear:both;margin:0 0 2em 0;padding:10px 0;}
i thought i would try this for the groups directory but no go
#members-dir-list .item-list li {clear:both;margin:0 0 2em 0;padding:10px 0;}
any ideas???
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		 @kippnkatie – I would strongly recommend learning some elementary CSS.  Using the Firebug plugin with Firefox also helps immensely.
Replace your following snippet above with:
#members-dir-list .item-list li, #groups-dir-list .item-list li {clear:both;margin:0 0 2em 0;padding:10px 0;}
This should fix both your members and groups directory.
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		 @r-a-y oh sorry i pasted the wrong thing i used this and it didn’t work
#groups-dir-list .item-list li {clear:both;margin:0 0 2em 0;padding:10px 0;
i am in the process of trying to learn some but not really sure of how to go about it.  i have just been looking through alot of the files and trying to determine what each thing is doing and then i try to use it somewhere and see what happens.
what does the firebug plugin do?

It depends on where you placed the CSS snippets.  I hope you created a child theme to make your changes.  Creating a child theme allows you to make changes to the default BP theme easily.
