"BR" tags look something like one of these:

<br>

or

</ br>

Basically they are used to make "spaces" or "breaks".

if there's too much of a gap then remove the <br /> tags.

Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

Removed shoutbox as it was annoying me with such a big gap will put it back on so you can see what I mean

in that window is

<div align='left' style='text-align:left;padding-bottom:4px'>
<!-- IBF.NEWSLINK -->{ibf.lang.welcome_back_text} $lastvisit
</div>

Have another look if you don't mind and tell me what you think

i don't know a lot about shoutboxes... but isn't that "gap" allotted for posts? when people start posting in your shoutbox... they will go in that "gap". i'm almost positive.

the only thing i can suggest cuz it's so long is using tables and putting something beside it, like a code for affiliates or something.

not sure what you mean about using tables or codes for affiliates , not even sure what an affiliate is lol

i was just suggesting putting something beside the shoutbox... it could be anything, really. to put something beside another thing, like an image or code, you will have to use tables. otherwise everything will just layer itself.

i'm sorry i can't explain it better. i'm thinking the mods would get annoyed if i spent too much time explaining tables and html. you should look into others who have shoutboxes and look at their setups.

perhaps there's an easier way to get around this problem.
