      1. How can I get that white space closed up and the bottom module of images to move up to occupy that space and stop just under the tabs section?

      .../tempalte.css
       
      #maincontent-block {
      padding:0 20px;
      }

      .x-c-x .colmask {
      -moz-background-clip:border;
      -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
      -moz-background-origin:padding;
      background:#EEEEEE none repeat scroll 0 0;
      }

      Was that to remove all of that? The word "background" is in there four times on four lines. Just not sure.

      No, just the line assigning the color that you didn't want (background: #EEEEEE.....)

      You also said to "mirror" the thick line on the bottom of the tabs. I thought I was trying to get rid of it.

      Poor wording, sorry. That block will add a border at the bottom that mirrors the one on the top. ;)

        #maincontent-block { padding:0 20px; } Hi Terp, Here's my problem...if you look at the pages under "Articles" dropdown you'll see how it looks with padding 0 20px. Attached are images for how they look with 30px 20px and 0px 20px. (three with this post and one more to follow)[attachment=42528]0px.20px.no breathing room.png[/attachment][attachment=42527]0px.20px.much better.would like evden tighter.png[/attachment][attachment=42526]30px.20px. Good for articles.bad for front page.png[/attachment] Am I caught in an "either or" situation here, where I can't have both some airspace at the top of content pages, and the front page to look the way I want? If that's the case I'll accept it; I was just hoping to accomplish both. [b]Or, should I duplicate the template a third time and assign the third dup to the front page and just do it that way?[/b] Thanks. Jerry[code=text]

      Hi Terp,

    • The problem is that you have a module on the frontpage that you are trying to push up; so if you reduce the padding in the main content block to push it up, it will, naturally, push up the actual 'main content' on your article pages, if that makes sense.

      Okay, I just checked the nexus demo for module positions...and logged into your site again and checked the module. You have it published to User 7 position, which is under the main content area of course. ;)

      I also noticed you had it assigned to a few other pages, so you could:

      1.) Make a copy of the 'How can we help you reach your goals?' module.
      2.) Assign the copy to display only on the homepage (and remove the homepage assignment from the original module)
      3.) Publish it in User 1 slot. ;)

      This will compile that module ABOVE the main content area, so you don't have to mess with any padding that would impact your articles.
