There's a rather big white space on top of the bio in my profile. In the profile editor, there doesn't seem to be a way to remove this. Is it possible at all to get rid of it?

Edit: this screenshot was taken in Chrome, while I was logged in. In IE (not logged in), the white space doesn't occur.

Thanks for thinking along ... Feb 27, 2019

... but that's not what I meant. I want the bio to be the first things visitors of my profile see, but the white space shouldn't be so big. Here's a screenshot made in IE, to compare.

It apparently uses the same space as the "Show here: KudoZ Activity/Project History" check boxes on the right, which is why you see the space when logged-in. Other people don't, and you won't if you Force Visitor View in your profile.

I also have the big white space there. I tried to get rid of it, but couldn't.

Apparently, it's only an issue when you are logged in and looking at your own profile. Yours looks like this over here (in Chrome), so it's fine

My guess is that the system that shows you a preview uses a more primitive HTML parser than the visitor view. Your profile's bio section has five <p> tags at the top, which the previewer's more primitive HTML parser interprets as paragraph breaks. However, these <p> tags are at the top of a table cell, and in correctly parsed HTML, such <p> tags are ignored. If you want, you can click the "code view" button in the profile editor's formatting toolbar, to see the underlying HTML.

Edith and Lincoln, thank you for this information.
The extra small fonts actually are more disturbing for non logged in visitors...
This is for everybody as far as I know. Fonts are perfect when you are logged in but when you log out fonts get extra small.
