Hi. Strangely I have no padding around the articles. See here http://www.neuropool.com/

Also on my list of things to solve (new thread or not?):
1) I want to reduct the vertical padding on the updates/highlights/search positions.
2) The readmore links aren't showing

First of all - please disable js and css compression. Then please write back.

Ok, um, yeah, I think I've done that (turned off gzip compression in global config. and none of the temple option are set to compress)

By the way, I worked out how to change the height of the module positions highlight and search using a CSS override. Trouble was, the Joomla Search system was still too big and poked out under over the edge of the module position. So I guess not a template problem, I'm looking for a way to reduce the Joomla search size now...

Your css is still compressed. Please disable it both in Joomla global configuration and in template configuration.

Sorry, not sure what else to do. Before I posted I did the following:

Joomla system Caching = off
GZip in Joomla = off
Joomla caching plugin = disabled
All the News 2 template cache settings disabled
Hosting = no caching

I used Google Page Speed tools to confirm there is no compression.
Not sure what else to do...

Just an update. I couldn't find anywhere more to turn of caching. So I used firebug to find some kind of way to do this. I ended up with pasting the following code in the templates overrides box in the templates advanced settings (also I have overrides enabled):

Code: Select all
.itemList article {
padding-left: 50px !important;
padding-right: 50px !important;
}


Actually the only reason I started this thread was because my template was displaying something different from the default, so I though that was something to be corrected. Anyway.. all done now.

Oh... I also reduced the virtical space in the search box with by also pasting this code in the overrides box:

Code: Select all
#gkSearch {
width: 250px !important;
height: 37px !important;
}

#mod-search-searchword {
height: 37px !important;
}

#gkTopBar {
    line-height: 37px !important;
}

#gkSearch:after {
    font-size: 15px !important;
    top: 1px !important;
}

#gkHighlights {
height: 37px !important;
}

#search {
    padding: 0px !important;
}

Ok, I'm glad you could solve it by yourself.
Posting the solution was also a great idea :).
