Yeah....I've looked at the "home.tpl" file as well. Call me blind, because I do not see any <br /> tags or "spacer.gif" between any of those active menu boxes on the left and right. With the except of between the "Visa/Mastercard" logo and "Help" box, I only see one <br /> tag there. And that is it.
Well...here is my entire "home.tpl" file. Hopefully it's just me being blind!
