[Help] Fixing Forums

[yallholy]

If you want your forum a certain width how do you do it..?

Like fix it instead of it being a certain percentage.

Thanks if you can help!

You set it's width to pixels - ie. 850px . On a default style, you would do this in Style Manager > StyleVars > Main Table Width (pixels or percentage)

Thanks for the help ,
But

My thing doesn't change

In the header it has a thing that makes it like smaller and when I delete a part it goes full screen.


<div class="mainwrap">

<div class="mainpad">

Thats the part I delete and it goes full screen.

Neither of those are default vbulletin classes, so I'd guess you are not using the default style (which is what my answer was regarding). You will have to ask the style author how to change the width for your forum.

On the default style even if I do change the stylevar
( I tried using pixels not percentage )
It only moves the logo
and the bottom bar with the admin and mod thing on it.

The middle bit doesnt move.

Ahh, I seem to remember this issue... yep - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=28367 It's a bug. I think you can get around it (until they fix it), by opening the template spacer_open and finding this line:

<div class="page" style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]; text-align:$stylevar[left]">

And replacing $stylevar[outerdivwidth] manually with the width your want.

Thank you for the help !

but also in the default style..

Would you be able to change the ' Forum ' ' Last Post ' 'Threads' 'Posts'
Under the heading instead of above and make it go for all the forums.

And also would you be able to split and outline the forums
Like instead of having like
' Category 1 '
and
' Category 2 '
Together
like split them up and outline with having thread and posts and forum under each heading.

There are modifications to do what you want. You can probably search on "forum*" in "all mods" "titles only" and find them. I think there are also articles both here and on vb.com on how to do that manually by template edit.
