why is there so much white space below our posts? At the end of my post, I hit delete a few times but that is not doing anything.

This is related to default size of the Avatars displayed. If the post is too short, then there will be blank spaces shown. You have an Avatar picture elsewhere that you can upload here too.

Avatar displays can be turned OFF by members: Profile/Edit/Edit Profile/Settings/Show Avatars - YES/NO. Default is YES. If choose NO, then posts won't show Avatars and blank spaces in short posts will also be eliminated.
