without your code, it's impossible to say. There's some tips on sharing it in #how-to-ask-good-questions, live versions are much more useful than pasted code in discord messages

riddle•5mo ago

Yeah my bad, I forgot to include the code is pastebin okay

Jochem•5mo ago

like I said, live code is more useful so something like codepen or codesandbox

riddle•5mo ago

okay

Jochem•5mo ago

I'd say just pasted code blocks over pastebin though, saves people clicking through unless it's a lot of code, but the more code, the more important it is to have the live code running to see what's going on

you mean the lack of space at the end of the button, right? You have a 25px left margin set on h2's, but there's no right margin, so .box just wraps tight around it

riddle•5mo ago

I put left margin only to give space from the sides. Without it, it looks like the 2nd img

Jochem•5mo ago

the quick and dirty way would be to put a right padding on that h2 as well, but the better way would probably be to put the 25px on the padding for .card

riddle•5mo ago

Oh the padding on the card fixed it. how do I fix the height?

Jochem•5mo ago

"fix"?

riddle•5mo ago

uh reduce then?

riddle•5mo ago

it should look like this

Jochem•5mo ago

h2 has a default margin of 0.83em, so set a lower padding if you want that to be smaller you can use the inspector in devtools to see why certain elements are certain sizes, including the built-in browser rules

riddle•5mo ago

Okay I'll try those out thanks for the help

Jochem•5mo ago

no problem 🙂
