So, I’ve been working on revamping the appearance of my commissions thread, but it seems that I’ve ended up with an utterly gigantic gap at the very top of the post. I’ve tried various things to try and tackle this, with the help of someone else who is good with html, but still no success. They even suggested bringing it to modbox in the case of it being a bug, however I suggested that probably wasn’t gonna be the right use of that ^^,
Sooooo, here I am, looking if anyone knows what to do with this, and why it’s being rather silly!
The thread with the basically page-sized gap:

-I WILL NOT DO SKETCHES ONLY NOR LINEART ONLY, so I am only doing COMPLETE pieces.
-ALL commissions will always have my watermark on them, do not ask for it to be removed, please!
-<b>PREFERRING PAYPAL PAYMENTS</b>. I will accept Lioden payments, but it is not my preference. See prices further down, and see the items section too for more info!
-I will get to work on the art immediately after confirmation of commission (or once I reach you in the slot order), and the finished art will be shown through PMs once complete (or another chatting site, like discord!)
-All characters welcome unless said otherwise!
-PLEASE tell me whether you want the art to be more realistic or more cartoony, (basically, whether you'd prefer it to look like a real-looking creature or whether you'd like a cartoon-looking creature, or anything else)

<font size=4><u>Methods for ordering a piece!</u></font>
If you want to order a commission, there are currently <b> two </b> ways which I will accept!
You give me full payment before I begin, and your piece has increased priority. I give updates when possible. DISCORD PREFERRED!!
2.
You give me either £1 OR 2 as confirmation that you are buying, and then you give full payment once I finish BEFORE I send the final piece. Any updates will be HEAVILY watermarked. DISCORD WOULD BE NICE, BUT NOT REQUIRED.
<b>Realistic styles</b> will have an <b>increase of at least £5 (10 )</b> depending on the complexity!!
<b>Simple backgrounds</b> (no painting, just shapes or colours) will likely have a maximum <b>increase of £5 (10 )</b>
<b>Complex backgrounds</b> (painted) will have an estimated <b>increase of £5 - £10 (10 - 20)</b>
<i>Prices are for one character, if more than one character is included, the price increases. (if you want two characters that are both full-body, the price would be £50 (100 ) as there are TWO full-bodied characters)</i>)
<font size=1>Prices will not always be the same! Sometimes they vary due to my own leniency or complexity. Basically, let me know what you want, and I’ll tell you the price once I have all the information I need!</font>

<h3> THIS THREAD IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED ON!!! HEAVY MAINTENANCE IS REAL</h3>
Hello, I've tried copy-pasting your code. Trying to see if this has a gap or not first.
edit: weird! Even when the preview doesn't have a gap, the post does. Trying some things out now
Test1

Welcome to my commissions thread! Here you will find plenty of info about my Lioden comms, and see some examples of my work too!
I hope you consider buying, bumps or sharing are also appreciated too!

I do not check here too often, and sometimes forget to look, so if I don’t respond quick don’t be surprised, but I will get back to you as soon as possible! If you want something quickly, though, you can contact me elsewhere: FurAffinity and Twitter; Obsidian_Trash — or, best option, discord!

I think I figured it out!
The big gap is a result of all the line breaks in the code! If you remove all the line breaks, the gap disappears.
The code originally:

So unfortunately, it still seems to be giving me that huge gap. Would the gaps in the whole thing stack at the top somehow? It seems highly unlikely for such a thing to happen, though?
(Hoping my image works, it’s not showing on preview though lol) ((think it’s good now) holy shit that’s huge
Yeah, I know what you mean. If it helps, you can type markers like these to help find stuff in your code: <*!---HEADER SECTION---> (without the asterisk).
I really do think it's worth removing all the gaps, Lioden does keep track of every line break in a post and puts it in, with or without < br >
Right, I just went through and removed the gaps, and it’s sorted. That is so annoying tho :(
I really struggle reading large amounts of text so this being all bunched together and unorganised makes it worse, but it’s alright. Well, I’m glad I could get this working at least
