Template Modification Help...

[Steve W.]

Okay, I've searched around these boards for about three hours trying to find something, but it seems I'll just have to ask...

I'm trying to achieve an image board around my forum, but only on the left and right. I've managed it via three columns, and the forum content in the center table, but alas, I must aply this to EVERY template, and I really don't think that's an efficient way.

So far, I've managed it here: http://forums.goldenpie.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=8

The torn map edges are in their own tables, with the content in tehre center. Now, I'd like to do the same thing, but storing the start of the tables in the header, the forum content automaticlly fill into the middle table, and a close table tag in the footer. It should be a piece of cake, but I doubt that will be the case.

Please help, any suggestions would be brilliant.
