Description
When using the Advanced Forum module I have a chunk of white space above my forum thread when I use advanced forums module. I have discovered it is related to the blocks in either sidebar since disabling the blocks gets rid of the white space. The more blocks I add the more white space is added. Does anybody have any advice on how to get rid of this white space?
I had similar issues on the forum tables but setting the forum td clear from both to none and setting the top link buttons float from left to none solved that problem but didn't fix the forums inside the threads.
Thank you for your help,
Tony

a link to the site ?
is this happening in every browser ?
just IE ? which version ?
have you used the firefox browser with the firebug addon to try and narrow down the problem ?

Here's a link to one of the pages and yes it is in both IE and FF. I don't know how to use firebug very well to find offending pieces of .css code so I haven't really used that to try and solve the problem yet.
I have done a ton of testing though and just can't seem to find the issue.

your site is taking quite a long time to respond and open.
that aside. looking at your site in firefox with the firebug addon .... Looks like some of your blocks are using tables.
If the blocks are shut off one by one, is there a certain block that is causing this or is it when any block is enabled ?

Ok I think i found it, it may be because of a clear in the advanced forum css.
Unfortunatley, your site is taking so long to reload I can't quite invest the time to completely debug. I suggest setting up a local install where you can continue to tweak and check the css.
Learning to use firebug with firefox can save you lots of time and headaches.

I think the load times may be because I am currently still testing, sorry. I will leave it alone for a while if you're still willing to assist me.
I've actually checked all the clears in the advanced forum .css and none of them fix the problem.
And it is every block I've enabled, each one adds more space.

Not sure about 5x but in 6x you can fix it with some css in advanced_forum_structure.css. It's to do with a line with min height 350px
