border image, content expands

[imported_Sean]

Hi there,

I have made a new skin for my forums and my vbadvanced portal. Today, I was about to add a left and right image border around the forum and the site. The problem is that I tried everything and it still doesn't work the way i want it to work.

I have searched all the sites that I knew, started from vbulletin.com, then vbulletin.org, here, and I found many topics already started about this, but none of them were really been answered fully and did not work with this v3 version of vbulletin.

I edited most of the files that I thought would help me achieve this, i edited the header and footer template, that didn't work. So then i tried to edit the forum home, that didn't work either. The main content area seems to expand to 100% everytime eventhough i set a different size for it.

Unfortunantly I can't show any previews at the moment, since I have changed the codes to their original so that i could start over again.

I'll be willing to even pay if someone could help me.
thank you.
