Horizontal Gap at the Top

[Ilkharnos]

Hello,

After I have successfully converted my forum to UTF8, a new problem appeared. There is a horizontal gap at the top of my forum, and I couldn't remove it regardless of how hard I try. At first I thought it was a style.css problem. Although I hadn't touched any style sheets or php codes earlier and the gap had appeared out of nowhere, I tried to remove the gap through these codes but it didn't work.

Later, I found out that it might be a different problem which related to BOM (i have little knowledge about what it is) and these kind of gaps might be seen in UTF8 sites and it is something created by Windows. However, I couldn't find any solution to remove this gap from my SMF forum yet.

I would be grateful for any kind of help. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards.

can you provide a link to your forum so we can look into the issue further?

may be easier or a screenshot as it seems your site is closed to guests (http://karamigfer.com/)

I turned off the maintenance mode.

I don't see the gap you are referring to....... nor do I see any SMF copyright..

You may see the gap in the screenshot.

Regarding copyright: I'm not aware of what is missing in my site. I would be grateful if you can tell me what can be done about it.

How could you not be aware? Someone had to remove it.

I made many alterations in the past for the purpose of customization. I might have removed it (I don't see another sensible explanation) but unfortunately I don't remember anything. I haven't been actively using this site for a long time and all of the knowledge is lost to me. That's why I wasn't aware of it. But now I became aware of what I had made was a mistake.

I should take the responsibility since I am the only admin. I would like to correct it if I may.

Regards.

I added copyright information in the footer section and used some css styles (I hope it is OK)

Code Select Expand



I think there is a small hiccup on code check your index.template.

I'm not sure about how I'm supposed to correct the code. I searched for the code you had written but I couldn't find it.

Attach index.template.php file of the theme.

Unfortunately, the gap is still there. I tried it with different browsers and cleared the cache before checking it.

Then its not related to template but JS... Something effecting body element but doing something wrong in there.

take a look at https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_do_I_get_rid_of_a_Byte_Order_Mark

This solved my problem. I made a search using file_check.php and found three BOM errors. I modified those .php files with notepad++. Bingo.

I am grateful for your help. Thank you very much.
