View Full Version : FAQ and Contact Page Width?

I took the default template and changed the header image, changed some colors to red, and made the width fit the new header image. Everything went fine until I noticed that the FAQ and Contact pages had stuff that doesn't fit within the page. Is there another variable or something I need to change for these?

The one at the top is the one most likely to work but the second one is more template firendly if you change styles and then if all else fails try the 3rd....


Change it to:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - $vbphrase[contact_us]</title>

<form action="sendmessage.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="docontactus" />
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$url" />

<if condition="$show['errors']">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="738px" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[errors_occured_when_submitted]:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
<ol>$errormessages</ol>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="738px" align="center">

None of them worked. The third one is the one up there now:

That's not really fixing the problem as much as it is avoiding it.

Anyway, I fixed it!
