My advice is to user kerry-annes side colum for 3.7.x because obviously they used a side colum on the right to hold there ad in it. You can also if your good with html make the widthof the table 100% and create a new css rule or and on to the genral class for each forum and make them align left and make sure to size them with the width attribute. If your not a html coder then kerry-anne`s mod will work best for you I use it on my site and its lovely but I only use the left side colum. You can check it out to see if its worth your time or not. My Site My sites not done yet I`m going to re-do it since obama won the election so theres no need for me to add anymore stuff but you can see the side colum part. You`ll have to use
<tr>
<td><!-- insert your info here --></td>
</tr>

to add your stuff in each template and the only problem is the background of the table data will be the same as your forums to change that make a class and use css to change the background color and add border color if you wont to.

template html:

<tr>
<td class="sidecolum"><!-- your info here and dont size these or it will look ugly --></td>
</tr>

CSS part:

.sidecolum {
background-color: white; /*Type your own color and delete this comment*/
border: 2px solid blue; /* add your own pixel value and border type and color*/
}

add that css minus the comments to your addition css and your doen but make sure your using the usc templates and that you have inmind what your going to add.

I also forgot to mention you can use the background-image: url(images/mis/your_image.gif) so it is the same as your bacground image just set the width: and height: in either pix (pixels) or % so you would add this to the above css.

background-image: url(images/mis/your_image.gif);
Width: 300 px;
height: 500px;
//repeats background
background-repeat: repeat;
//repeats horizontal only
background-repeat: repeat-x;
//repeats vertical
background-repeat: repeat-y;

and thats how you would align it with kerry-annes ultimate side colum 2.2 for verion 3.7.x
