There isn't a lot of author information showing so you've got a lot more vertical space than you need on the posts, which looks funny with short posts. Toss this into your style.css to fix it:

.forum-post-panel-main {min-height: 220px;}

Might need to fiddle with that a bit if there's more visible to mods than I can see but I doubt you need all 350. Michelle

Hey Michelle,

Thanks for the heads up. There were recently some updates made to the forum templates. The min-height: 350px; was set in order to accommodate a background image that was being used and is not being used now. I was thinking of putting it back when I had some time, but if I end up keeping things as-is, I will definitely use your suggestion!

Are you a web designer and/or developer?

Okie doke. :)

Developer, yes. I can do some theming but I suck at design.

Ok, ever since you mentioned it, it has been bugging me. min-height is now 275px to leave room for all possible author-pane info. 

What kind of development do you do? Design is not my best thing either, but I do it anyway. If possible, I prefer to leave the graphic art to graphic artists.

Sorry, didn't mean to bug you. :) 

I work with Drupal, some coding, some site building. It's a hobby at this point, though I hope to get a job at a Drupal shop when my kids are both in school full time. I need to make some serious improvment to my "executive functions", though, if that's going to happen. Right now it's a good thing no one is paying me... I'm terribly distractable and take forever to get things done. :(

Awesome. Drupal is my second favorite open source project to work with (WordPress is first). I hear you about 'executive functions'! Not sure I have any, but somehow my business is still going. Luckily coding is usually the thing that I am distracted by, rather than the thing I am distracted from. Good luck!

It is sometimes for me, too. Depends on what I'm working on and how much my kids interrupt me. Any little interruption and I have trouble getting back into it again. I still have time before my youngest is in kindergarten. Just need to keep working at it. I have the Drupal skills to get a job... If I can just get myself able to stay focused, I shouldn't have any trouble.
