I would like to figure out how to make text directly under a signature without a huge space.

I tried doing a shift+return to do a "soft" return, but still a huge amount of space.

Here is a sample post:

If you look code it is:

<p>Wulf Moon<br />Forum Moderator</p>

The <br/> should make the text directly under the "Wulf Moon".

Any ideas on this? Thanks so much. Jason

Thank you very much! Is there a global way to set this so that the person doing this, who dose not know code, is able to execute this? I understand your inline recommendation, but not sure that others will understand this. Thanks, Jason

I was looking at my old forum on phpBB and basically what I see is that the leading is much tighter, but there is a nice large space after each paragraph. When I try and do the line space adjusting in the CSS it looks like it is effecting the leading and space after a paragraph. Any way to control separately?

Here is a sample of my old forum as a screen shot.

and add this too

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-post-content p {
    margin-bottom: 15px  !important;
}

Perfect. This makes sense now. I was missing the part about the bottom margin, which now looks correct.

So I used both:

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-post-content p {
line-height: 1.5 !important;
}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-post-content p {
margin-bottom: 14px !important;
}

This resulted in it looking like my old forum.

Thanks again. Jason
