Which part is vague
It is vague because you really don't explain what you want to do. Heres an attempt at answering your question.
The reason i posted tutorials is because they are usually a lot better at explaining things than i am, since they're written by the pros.
Answer to your question if you want to know how to place a certain module into a position
To move a certain module such as "Login Form" from the 'left' position to the 'right' position or vice-versa, you use Module Manager
I'm not going to detail this as much because the first tutorial i postedBilly Zoellers wrote:this would be a good place to start about managing modulesThis tutorial is about Module Manager and is very in depth.

Answer to your question if you actually want to move positions
To control the size and position of the modules..... i.e. move 'user15' from above your content to below your content, it requires your to edit the php/html of the template.
You will find each module referenced in the index.php file of the template. i.e. if 'user15' was above your content it might look something like this:in the simplest of templates.<div class="above"> <?php mosLoadModules('user15',-1); ?> </div>
you can move these "tags"around in the html to move them to different spots in the template.<?php mosLoadModules('position');?>
this is obviously a more advanced thing, and to do it effectively you need to have a basic understanding of css/php/html. - Last Edit: 17 years 10 months ago by urj2ic8.

Thanks for the post. This is all I was asking.
I would rather try something that someone in the forum has actually done then read a manual.
I know that a pro may have written it but that does not mean it will always work.
Just try sifting throught the Flash Action Script 2.0 or 3.0 Help Docs.
Don't worry, I do read the help files but if someone knows an answer then why not post?

Because it takes alot less time to send you to a tutorial that we've read over and know works, than to type from scratch how to do something. - Billy Zoellers

Because most people can't explain it any better than the help files.
You are asking people to take up their time to explain to you because you don't want to read the help files.
'please spend your time on me because I don't want to spend mine'
Was the -impression- you gave across with your postings. That may not have been your intention but it was the feeling I got reading it. -

Hi,
I am stuck with the concept of Module Position.
On my page I have:
www.artboyinc.com/myjoomla
User 1 - 7
Inset
Newsflash
Footer.
I know that I can add a module to these positions.
How do I control the size and position of each individual module.
I have posted this before so if your moderating, please forgive me but I am hemmed up with this problem.
Thanks
Frankly, I don't understand your question.
Are you:
a) wanting to add additional module(s) positions to a template?
b) wanting to know how to use and control existing modules positions in a template?
If a) is your answer, then it may be prudent to take a screenshot of your page and use an image editor to show exactly where and what you want to do (i.e. where you want the new module position).
Frankly, I have never had to add a module position to a template (yet).

After your question is solved, please Edit your original post and choose the Solved message icon, thank you!

Well, thanks for the help, I am no closer to a solution then when I started.
And yes, if people are posting then they are asking for your time but replying to a post in voluntary.
Besides, If your in the forum posting then you obviously have time on your hands.
Perhaps we have gotton off on the wrong foot here. But did it ever occur to anyone that I am posting because I can not find the solution or understand the help docs?
With that said. I get the impression (thanks Franck & Daniel) that I should "let it go" and quit posting.
Thanks you for the links to the help docs.

- All the guys are very helpful the problem and I think I can speak for most when I say we don't understand what you want to do, see Billy's post if you have more questions do ask.
