I've noticed a few people wanting consistent spacing thoughout their site, here's a simple solution, I'll use 5px as an example, feel free to use any number :)
1) Install latest vB and vBa
2) Goto Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Sizes and Dimensions > Spacer Size (pixels) then set this to 5
3) Goto vBa CMPS > Default Settings > Spacing Between Columns then set this to 5
4) Goto Styles & Templates > Replacement Variable Manager > Add New Replacement Variable
Set "Search for Text" to "<br />"
Set "Replace with Text" to "<br style="font-size:4px">"
5) Goto Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Click the [<< >>] Button > Navigation / Breadcrum Templates > Navbar
Find:
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->
<br />
<br />
<if condition="$show['popups']">
Replace with:
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->
<br />
<if condition="$show['popups']">
6) Goto Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Click the [<< >>] Button > Forum Home Templates > FORUMHOME
Find:
<!-- /main -->
<br />
<br />
<!-- what's going on box -->
Replace:
<!-- /main -->
<br />
<!-- what's going on box -->
I hope all you anal retentives out there find this useful :) Being a fellow anal retentive myself (designer NOT coder) I have to have everything just right :p Once you've done this you can start skinning away, if you're going to download a skin, don't worry about doing this :p But if there are still breaks in the skin you don't like, this should point in the right direction to where to make changes :)
Cheers.
