phpbb Width

I need to know how to set the width of my board. For example the way this board fits, I hate having to scroll back and forth.

Depending on your theme, you will need to modify the table width either to a percentage or an absolute pixel width. Look in theme.php and/or style/style.css - almost always in theme.php

Thanks, you are really on top of this forum, I asked this same question at nukecops and it floated there for a week with no reply, then I gave up and deleted my post.

To be fair, they handle much much more traffic than my site Wink

You know how many questions I and the others field over there and it's impossible to keep up. I have backed off some from there and have decided to build my site up here, at least for now.

Oh! I didn't mean they were slacking, sorry if it sounded that way. I understand fully, if I had as much traffic as they do I have a break down!

Now back to the question at hand, the theme I have is "skyLineBlue phpbb2 style by Volize Web Solutions :: PHP-Nuke theme by www.nukemods.com" I tried setting the table width, but it affects the whole site and not just the forum table.

the files I have looked in are

theme.php
tables.php
style.css
forumIE.css
forums.css

I got it resized Exclamation

The theme I'm using "skyLineBlue phpbb2 style" has a lot of .gif's, I wasn't using the logo.gif in the forum anyway so I reset the width of it.

If anyone is using this theme and don't mind losing the Forum Logo(only) You can reset the logo width in :

themes/skylineblue/forums/overall_header.tpl

line: 250
<td width="2%"><a href="{U_INDEX}"><img src="themes/skyLineBlue/forums/images/logo.gif" width="25" height="109" border="0" alt="{L_INDEX}"></a></td>

I didn't take it like that Laughing

. Have you tried looking in

modules/Forums/templates/skyLineBlue/ ? There should be a .css file in there.
