Please help me remove the large <br />s or gaps/spaces in my style.
Right now I have welcomeheaders, PhotoPost Featured Block Plugin and Adding H1 Tags to your Forum and Threads.

Can someone take a look at my code and help me remove these gaps, keeping my layout clean?

I've attached the following templates in .txt format:
Header
Navbar
Forumhome
FORUMDISPLAY
welcome_headers

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't really see large gaps there. Perhaps you can highlight them in red. If you are using header tags then they are going to grab a certain amount of vertical space on their own.

Here are the screenshots u asked for

As I said, when you use a header tag it is going to grap a lot of vertical space. You can most likely alter this using css.

That is what it looks like to me. Its in the SHOWTHREAD template, too, I think.

I was just lurking around the forum and it looks pretty clean. I think loosing that space would clutter it, personally, but if you did want to remove it you'd have to change the class of the headers using CSS like Code Monkey said.

Interesting Forum, too, by the way.

Thanks G man. Im glad SOMEONE thinks it is.
I have like 300 members that don't post and i hardly get any visitors.

Im trying as hard as i can to Search Engine Optimization the forums right now.
I refuse to pay $150.00 for VBSEO and I'm not sure if I want to install Zoints Search Engine Optimization as it is in beta right now and im not even sure if I really want to install many large mods as VBulletin is constantly changing.

I pretty much just followed all the Search Engine Optimization tips they outlined at vbulletin-faq.com

I really hope it works.

One thing I would do, while yer small, is turn on the Memberlist for guests. A lot of original members come over from other sites/forums. First thing they do (I did) is look at the memberlist and see if they know anyone.

I take it you're refusal to use vBSEO is based on your relationship with that other site. Good luck with that.

But seriously, I would not write off vBSEO too easily. It's a wonderful product and if your desire is to entice the SE's then it will do that and more.

Firstly though, you should "member optimize". Meaning, build your site to enhance the member experience and it will grow. Content is king!!!! Then as it grows worry more about the SE's.

I strongly agree with this suggestion

I too was wondering how to remove the extra line breaks when using H tags. I found this info which worked for me:

H1, and all other H tags have an implied line-break. To overcome this you simply need the following CSS rule:
h1 {
display: inline;
}

You may also be referring to the large Margin and Padding that surrounds H tags, varying by text size. To overcome those, use these rules:
h1 {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
}
