Can someone help me, I put this on my homepage and it looks fine, however on sub forums it is putting a big space above the video....not sure why:

homepage is RadarDetectorLaser.Com

you will see my video module on the right side of page, which looks fine but then when you go to for example:

http://www.radardetectorlaser.com/va...ar-detector-8/

there is a huge gap above it, I did increase the size of the videos on that picture, but cant figure out how to remove the space above the video.

here is the code for that part of the page, do you see anything wrong with the code maybe?

Can't conform that - looks fine for me ...

[freni32]

right about it there is a huge gap of space until the module title is at, the homepage looks fine, it is the subpage categories

on homepage as well, look below the last video where the module stops...there is a big gap of space as well :{

Any chance for Playlists/Sub-Categories...

If you look at how I have one of my video categories...
http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php?do=...y&categoryid=9

Right now it has 60 vids, and later today it will have 90... I would like to be able to split those videos into sub-categories. So when someone clicks on the Kogarasumaru category, they will not only get the full list of 90 videos, but also get 3 sub-categories they can click on to further refine the listings... Would this be possible?

This and the Video Profiles for users would make this mod PERFECT for me.
