Like I said, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is to create a table right under the <body> tag which has three columns and put the main content in the middle column. You'd then close it in the footer before the </body> tag (and actually put the right column right before you closed it).
Please Lynne, help-me. My template FORUMHOME:
