I'm assuming you are referring to the spacing between the rows of the conversation. As you may know, this spacing is set using the "cellpadding" attribute on the TABLE tag, which is currently set to 9. If you reduce this number, that will reduce the spacing.
 
Also, it appears that there is a lot of blank space before the table. If you wish to resolve this, you can remove the <BR> tags after the <TR> and <TD> tags in the table.
 
Please let me know if this did not answer your question.

Thanks for the response. I neglected to mention that I have been programming websites for over 10 years.

Take a look at my "Parody of Monty Python"

and you'll see what I mean. I use TextPad as my HTML editor, the code is very clean (I get kind of anal about that). The table starts very low - you have to scroll vertically.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but if the problem is that the page is too wide for your web browser, the most likely reason is a post's formatting. This can sometimes happen if you copy and paste content from another web page.

You can remove a post's formatting on Windows as follows:

  1. Highlight the text. Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
  2. Open Notepad. Notepad is in the Start menu, under Programs > Accessories.
  3. Choose Paste from the Edit menu. The text will be pasted without formatting.
  4. Highlight the text in Notepad. Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
  5. Now, you can paste the text without formatting into the "Add post" page.

If this is not the problem, could you provide some more information and perhaps a link?
