Default What is causing this large space?

There is something in one of my templates, probably in 'footer', that's causing a very large space at the bottom of my pages. It doesn't happen all the time. View the screenshots and use the test account to view the issue on my site. Note the location of the scroll bar in the screenshots. All of the black is empty space until the copyright info appears at the bottom of the page.

Your source code is VERY hard to read, but I did notice that you commented out the end comment tag on several lines. If you have a beginning comment tag, "<!--", then you need to have an end comment tag, "-->". And all javascript should have both in there. I have no idea if that is part of your problem though.

I've checked that, it seems everything is commented properly. I've found that if you create a new thread in any forum and refresh a few times the extra space will appear, as the page loads for an extra few seconds.

I could get the space by hitting refresh a couple of times on a thread, as you suggested. However, all that is written in the code in that area between the one line (with Contact Us - Zone - Top) is "Top</a> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> </td> </tr> </table> <div class="smallfont" align="center"> Copyright 2005". So, it is either in the table the encloses the above stuff or in the div tag on the bottom. My site looks different than yours there "Top</a></strong></div></td></tr></table> <br /><div align="center"><div class="smallfont" align="center">" I think if I were you, I'd take a look at that table that ends right before the div for your Copyright.

Actually this space is due to the built in cron system in vbulletin. I had the same issue. If you heavily modify the footer template as I did you will need to make the cron system ajax to remove this issue.

I've installed one but am still getting the same problem. From what I read in the ajax mod I installed it was meant for hanging page loads, it didn't mention the specific problem I was having. Were you have the same issue as me or did your page loads hang?
