The vertical space between modules is a little too much for me, as I'm trying to do a professional newspaper site along the lines of:
http://www.startribune.com/
(I like how they have no space betwen News, Archives, and so on.
Any way to decrease that space between modules?

In the admincp/ adv CMPS / Settings there is a space that I believe states the side modules are 175 increase that size.

Replace the <br/> at the end of each template with something else.

I mean the vertical space between the modules. I've yet to see a single vbadvanced page without the spaces.
Edit: Thank you conqsoft!

That would be Horizontal. :)

No, that would be vertical. Horizontal space can be set using the spacing option in the CMPS admin settings:
"Spacing Between Columns
This is the amount of space (in pixels) that is between the different columns. "

Vertical is Up and Down, Horizontal is Left and Right. :D

the verticle space is the space on the left or the right of the module. The horizontal space is above and below.
So removing the <BR/> at the end of the template would remove the Horizontal space. He asked for the vertical space to be decreased which removing the <BR/> would not do.
Or did I just drink to much last night?

You drank way too much. See my post right above yours.

I am talking about the space that runs between the right column and the center and the left column and the center, which run up and down. Those would be the verticle spaces, no?

Those gaps do run vertically, but the width of those gaps constitutes horizontal spacing.
To adjust the vertical space between modules, you remove the <br/> at the end. Then they are vertically closer together.

I know what removing the <br/> tag does. It will create columns with no spacing.. I guess I was just thinking something else..
No worries

Any way to decrease that space between modules?To remove the space between the modules top to bottom ( trying to avoid a semantics issue here ;) ) edit each template and replace the <br /> at the end of the template with <div><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" height="10" alt="" /></div> and change the height of '10' to whatever you'd like.
To change the 'other' spacing replace the value contained in ACP -> vBa CMPS -> (default settings) -> Spacing Between Columns to whatever you need.
