Increasing the Width of "Threads / Posts & Last Post" Columns in the Homepage
 

Hello,

Firstly, i spent over 10 hours searching this forum and vb.com too and i read all pages that relates to my question but i didn't find the answer to it.

The only result i got is to add a code in addititional.css file and i added that already but nothing happened.

also tried the doc width with "auto" being set at left and right margins but still no single change.

The only change i get is when i increase the min. doc width which only increases the margins but do nothing to the forum body.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks.

Post a link to the page where you want to change things and post an image showing how you want it changed.

You can try this template mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=256817

Thanks for your reply, but this mod removes the post/threads count and its important for the forum, any other solution?

Just a suggestion: Skip the part where it says to edit the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template and play around with the percentages in forumbits.css until you get what you are after.

Your forum page doesn't have the sidebar like in the image. If you want to minimize the space on the sides, then change the width in your custom CSS in the additional.css template:

Thanks Lynne for this Good Answer :)

I had disabled the sidebar due to the bad look of the forum body at a small width, now its working perfectly.

The other issue i have is that the members currently online appear like:

MemberA MemberB & I want it: MemberA, MemberB

P.S#1: disabled hooks in config and same situation, while when i create a new parent style or when i use the default theme, it works with comma, any hint how to make it appear in this style?

P.S.#2: it was already working with comma with the current style two days ago for a few hours and i wonder what makes it disappear, i even uploaded the same style again under a different name, but still not showing comma.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks alot in advance :)

I see commas between all the usernames on your site.

Yes Lynne, i added .commalist and it worked well now :)

Regarding the forum width, its not working well for me but i find some members saying that they view the forum with a horizontal scroll bar however the forum is of the same size of other forums that they view without this scroll bar, so any reasons why this could happen?

Thanks.

You have a set width for your forums, not a fluid width, so yes, many users will have a scroll bar since you have it set very wide and most people don't keep their browsers that wide.

I set that width because i wanted to have right and left sidebars and the current width is the minimum width for the forum body to be viewed correctly in the presence of 2 sidebars.

I view the forum without any horizontal scroll bars, and i see other forums having same dimensions with 2 sidebars and can be viewed normally, is there a way to solve this issue?

Thanks alot.

What do you want the 2 sidebars to do? To add banners or for content widgets and such?

by 2 sidebars i mean, sidebars to place advertisements & content widgets too (i have no problem at all in doing this)

The issue here is about the width of the forum body because some members say that after i enable the right and left sidebar, the forum becomes long so they need to use a horizontal scroll bar, although i didn't get any scroll bars from my end so i want to solve this width issue.

I only see a sidebar on the right side, so I don't understand your talk about two sidebars and it's impossible to take a look at the problem in firebug without actually seeing the problem.

You are right.

Currently there are two sidebars in the forum and as you know all what i need is that the forum be viewed in normal width without horizontal scroll bars.

Looking forward to hear from you.


Thanks alot :)

Lynne, Could you kindly check the forum now and let me know about the width if you its solved or not yet?

I have set the doc width to auto.

I see a sidebar on both sides of your Forum page now.

Yes, i added them for you to check the forum width with sidebars.

I think the width is better now that is viewed to everyone without any horizontal scollbar, but my issue now is about the "Header", if i set its width to [auto], it makes the logo shifted to the left at the very beginning of the margin, and if i set its width to a certain pixel, i can't satisfy low & high resolution users.

I hope that you can help me with this issue.

Best Regards.

Where do you want the logo to be? If you want it over to the right more, just add some padding to it.

Dear Lynne,

The header CSS is:

.headerblock{width:auto; margin: 0 auto;; z-index:11;}

I would like the logo to start after like 2 to 3 centimeters from the left border of the site.

Just add something like this:
