It looks like JF sillily require a module in slots user 4/5/6 for the bottom to even show,
Edit Index.php in the template dir, look for line 557:
<?php if ($this->countModules( 'user4 or user5 or user6' )) : ?>
Change it to read:
<?php if ($this->countModules( 'user4 or user5 or user6' )
|| ($this->params->get('facebook') != '')
|| ($this->params->get('linkedin') != '')
|| ($this->params->get('skype') != '')
|| ($this->params->get('twitter') != '')
|| ($this->params->get('youtube') != '')
|| ($this->params->get('rss') != '') ): ?>
Also remove or comment out lines 571 and 727
