Question Kunena causes trouble with Website-Layout

I to am having issues with white space I made my Joomla template myself and it is still in development stages but I am confused as to how I remove this white space.

As stated in the other post the white space corresponds to the number of items in my menu bar on the right im guessing its something in my CSS causing this to happen.

The key point that we need to make in this topic is that these troubles are caused by the Joomla site template CSS. As is often the case, when people ask how they can rectify problems with spacing issues, or font sizes, with background colours or increasing/decreasing text sizes - and this one "the big space at the top of the page" - all of these are defined by whatever is in the site template CSS.

The key point to make is that the site template CSS is the last thing to be used when a webpage is loaded in your browser. The site template CSS - in effect - pretty much overrides everything else.

All of these problems can be resolved, quickly, easily and without fuss, if you know a little about CSS and you use the developer tools that come with most browsers:

• F12 if you use Internet Explorer 8
• CTRL+SHIFT+I if you use Google Chrome
• F12 if you use Firefox - you need to install Firebug first

Simple, easy, effective and smart!

For those who don't know CSS or understand what it means, there are specialists who know this "stuff". Therefore, when we read about these kinds of issues - where people have a site template that does not accommodate Kunena in a neat and seamless way - it's not unreasonable to seek out and obtain this specialist professional help and it's also not unreasonable that you should expect that you will have to pay for this kind of service.

When people ask us. in this forum, I have constructed my own site template, I can't get Kunena to work properly, and they don't give us the address of the site where these things happen, what do you think our response should be to that question? It's a bit like saying, I've built my own car body and I'm trying to fit an assembled engine into it but something is stopping it from working right. If you don't understand the mechanics, it's difficult to describe the problem. Even if you do understand the mechanics, you may actually need to give other people access to where these things happen so that they may can help you with the specific issues that you're having. Merely describing the problem in words (or pictures) may not be enough.

Just dropping in to confirm that the fix suggested in the wiki link provided earlier in the thread still hits the nail on the head, despite file structure differences. It seems that it's all about floated side module sections. Kuena's "kblock" class has a "clear:both" property, which'll naturally move it down below floats. Removing the property from your forum template's CSS effectively fixes the big space problem.
