vb.org Archive - CMS Grid Issues and left column forum list

I did post this over at vb.com, but apparently getting an answer there is quite useless. Here is a copy and paste of my two questions, hopefully some of you coding gurus have some insight.

So I am wanting to utilize the default grid in my CMS layout, but am having problems with how it is laying things out. I want the left and right columns to be set at approx 240px and the center main content area to be fluid. I tried using the wizard to acomplish this, but didnt work. Here is the default code that is geting the closest to what I want. Problem with the default code is that the right column is cut off just ever so slightly. Can someone take a look at this code and let me know what I am doing wrong. The site is themuscleforum.com

Code:

<style type="text/css">

#gridl3_container {

    position: relative;

    clear: both;

    float: left;

    width: 100%;

    overflow: hidden;

}



#gridl3_midshift {

    float: left;

    width: 200%;

    position: relative;

    left: 170px;

}



#gridl3_rightshift {

    float: left;

    width: 100%;

    position: relative;

    left: 50%;

    margin-left: -340px;

}



#gridl3_midmask {

    float: right;

    width: 50%;

    position: relative;

    right: 100%;

}



#gridl3_midcol {

    margin-left: 340px;

    width: 100%;

    overflow: hidden;

}



#gridl3_leftcol {

    float: left;

    width: 170px;

    position: relative;

    margin-left: -50%;

    left: 170px;

    overflow: hidden;

}



#gridl3_rightcol {

    float: left;

    width: 170px;

    position: relative;

    left: 0px;

    overflow: hidden;

}



#gridl3_content {

    margin-right: 340px;

}

</style>



<div id="gridl3_container">

    <div id="gridl3_midshift">

        <div id="gridl3_rightshift">

            <div id="gridl3_midmask">

                <div id="gridl3_midcol">

                    <div id="gridl3_content">

                        <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column2">$column[2]</ul>

                    </div>

                </div>

            </div>

            <div id="gridl3_leftcol">

                <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[1]</ul>

            </div>

            <div id="gridl3_rightcol">

                <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column3">$column[3]</ul>

            </div>

        </div>

    </div>

</div>

I am trying to figure out how to put just a simple forum list in the left column on the CMS page. I see the sections JS type widget, but not exactly what I am looking for. I just want to put a forum list with each name being a link to the correct forum. Any idea how to do that? I know I have seen it before.
