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.
i answered your question.. what don't you understand?Billy Zoellers wrote:Chris Rucci wrote: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. - Billy Zoellers

I can't explain it any better than it already has been; best I can do is give you a real life example.
Post a link to your site and tell me which module you want moved and the direction you want it moved.
I will give you the code needed to move it to its new location.
All you have to do then is study the code i give you and apply the same to any other module. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

Well Chris, you are right in one point. All of us here have time to visit RT and write some posts to ask or offer help to other members. Personaly, I have a full time job, a family and I'm working in five sites... I have a lot of free times
However, I try to help when I can (if I have time and knowledge to answer correctly to one question). I'm not english speaker and writer but when I ask for help, I do my best to be clear (with a lot of grammar errors but I try); if the english native speakers can't understand exactly what you mean, you can understand I'm not able too.
If you need help, then you must be clear. For sure someone will be able to help you.

Hi Chris,
I think your best bet will be contacting GollumX and do the real life example. (if you have done it yet).
James and Peter also ask for and example of what do you want to do. I'm looking at your site right now and
I see a bunch of modules in different positions and sizes. Have you solved your problem already?
If so, please set this topic as solved and tell us what you did to accomplish your goals.

Well that link explains how to change column size, not necessarily module size. - Billy Zoellers

There is no universal rule to follow to change module sizes set... unless you count CSS
That is why IMO, it is best to post that query in the template boards with a specific question like how can I change the padding of Elemental's advert 1 position to 0px, to take an example
