Thx this was helpful...u2 shelly

1. I have removed all permissions for posting a new thread in forum id:17 but have left it open.
2. Then I customized the "no permissions" pop up box to be an intro page to "easy forms".
   (a roundabout way of having the newthread.gif button in forum id:17 link to the "easy forms" page)

Now, how can I resize this "no permissions" page (template) to be the same width as the forum? Right now it is about half size as you know.

Side note:
Curious...is it possible to remove the newthread.gif button in a specific forum only?
