How do I adjust the margin above the article title in the LatestArticles section? There seems to be too much space between the bottom of a container title and where the table defined in the View Options section picks up. I've tried adjusting figures in various css files, but to no avail. Any thoughts? ...Dave

Since it's templatable (the content in the container), it should depend on your container? Is your site online so we can look?

Scott, Thanks for your quick response. I'm actually using the module without a container. Other modules that I use on the same site without a container, for instance, the blog module, align toward the top. It seems like there's extra space between where a container top would end and the content for the LatestArticles module begins. You can see it in the center content pane at http://www.faithfuldemocrats.com/default.aspx. If you then click on Diaries, similar setup, but the blog module is at the top of the pane, whereas on the home page the LatestArticles module is still a few lines too low. ...Dave

Ah, if you go to the view options of latest articles, you'll see it uses the table with layout of cellspacing="4" (in the header template), if you modify this, it should remove that spacing..

I actually already have it set to "0". Here's the stuff from the View Options screen: HTML Header <table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0> HTML Body <tr><TD><span class=normal><font size="3" face="Arial"><b>[TITLE]</b></font></span></TD></tr> <TR><TD><span class=normal><font size="2"><font face="Arial">[SUMMARY]</font></font></span></TD></TR> <p> <TD> </TD> <tr> <TD> </TD>  </tr><tr><TD><a href='[LINK]'><font face="Verdana" size="1">[COMMENTCOUNT] Comments :: Click to Read/Comment</font></a></TD> </tr> HTML Footer </table>

Hmm, but in the html it has:- <table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=4> Can you try re-adding the module to the page? (Or adding another one), I moved the settings to be module based rather then per page/module and this caused the settings not to be saved in certain cases.

It looks like it had something to do with how I had the link to comments at the bottom formatted. Per your suggestion, I added a new module and then started making modifications to the default configuration. It's when I added the stuff for the bottom part with a link to comments that the issue reappeared. So that clears that up. Thanks so much for all of your help! ...Dave
