assistance with borders
 

could anyone tell me how to get a border down the left and right of the main content table please?

see screenshot (i want the border to go down where the red arrows are)

If I'm seeing your picture correctly, try putting
border: 1px solid #0B198C;
(with the width and color you want) in the "extra css attributes" of the page background... :)

thats brilliant thanks, worked a treat :)

LOL I just noticed your name... hitman?! :uhoh:
Sure glad I got it right! :D
;)

actually, that only worked for the main page... it has messed up the borders on the thread view though. it has added a border like to the top of each post... see screen.

That doesn't sound right... those aren't separate pages... :huh:
Weird... lemme try it...

Ok, the only other way I'm finding to do it is to use tiles... that'll take me a while to figure out because I don't like patterned backgrounds, let's see if anyone else has a better suggestion first... :)

would it be possible to make a background image with the lines like in the right place? i tried but on different resolutions it messes up. is there any way to like make the bg image "stick" so to speak so it doesnt move on different resolution. forum width is set at 780 by the way
