Can you turn off css compression Phil? Makes it easier to find the css. Do you not have firebug?

Anyway, we need to look for these 2 lines

#ja-mainbody {
padding-top: 20px;

}

Not trying to jump on Phil’s assistance train here . . . I’m just not able to see the particular “gap” you’re referring to when I bring up your site. (Which, by the way, is NUMBER ONE in Google when you search for “Peacock Quizzes” … though, I suppose there aren’t too many peacocks out there who would be competing with you with their own sites) :p

Is the “gap” you’re referring to within one of the content pages? . . . or am I simply “Edenite blind” today? :((

Try changing it to

#ja-mainbody {
position: relative;
top: -30px;

}

Scratch that, that will cause other problems. Set it to 0px first then while I look at some other things.

Looking at the line on your Firebug thing it does look like I’m right and it should be closed up

Goint to be a few changes Phil.

First set the other one I mentioned above to 0px

Then template.css line 780 change the 20px to 0px

.ja-headsp-right .ja-box-inner {
padding: 20px 10px 0 30px;

}

Once that is done clear your jat3 cache and then we can look at reducing it further.

ahhhhhh, you sneaky trickster

COMPLETELY UNRELATED SUPPLEMENTAL COMMENT:
Hey, just as a bit of completely constructive thought . . .

When I think of “Pubs” – assuming that these quizzes are targeted toward bars/pubs – I associate the thought/image with more warmer, slightly darker, “wood” themes/colors and such. Mind you, this may be solely MY thought-process . . . but when I see the colors you have now (i.e. blues/ blue-whites, etc.), it seems to give off a bit more of a “cooler” or “ice” visual feeling than I would associate with a Pub/Bar.

Again, I offer this in the most respectful constructive way possible. You have had this site up and running for quite some time (I remember when you first launched it) – so, obviously, it has been working . . . at least I certainly hope so. 🙂 Just some constructive comments from a non-involved internet browser who could have stumbled onto your site and, in my case, might not immediately associate “Peacock Quizzes” with quizzes for Pubs/Bars. Remember, the average internet browser has an initial attention span of only a few seconds – so the goal is to grab their interest immediately . . . and, more times than not, it is accomplished visually.

Of course, if Peacock Quizzes has been proving successful for these past several years as is, then I am completely bollux in my mindset and you can throw a dirty old shoe at me right now.

😎
