Can I have two short text boxes aligned next to each other ?

Can I have two text boxes aligned next to each other to save room on the page

when I first created a jotform I was able to shrink text books and align more than one box on the same line but now I am unable to, how can I fix this ?

Shrinking fields is still possible, the option is now under the options menu for the field:

It does not work for jotform V4, I have tried over and over but no results.

This is due to the theme applied to your form.  It is setting the width of all fields to 100%.  If you remove the theme, it will then allow for placing fields side by side:

About two months ago I able to place fields side by side, has there been a update to the theme or jotform that is not prohibiting this ?

Since I am not familiar with the theme you are using, I cannot say what the CSS was previously.  It currently forces the widget of fields to 100%. 

It uses an !important tag so it would override any further CSS that is added.

Thanks for all of your help, but is there any one I can talk to regarding this issue that could possibly help me further ?

If you have further questions, let us know and we will be happy to help.  If you use a different theme or the default form theme, it will allow for placing fields side by side.
