I inspected your site, but your width is 272 instead of 252. Just check once.


width: 252px;

Just change the value of the width to your likings.

Thanks for this, great job! How do I make the Black Box Smaller while keeping all four columns? I've change my forum width to 1080px and it shows fine, but if I make the forum width smaller it displays like the picture in the below post? How can I do this? Thanks.

Try to play with this value...

.col4 {
float: left;
margin-left: 56px;
width: 252px;
}

Try changing the width to suit your needs.
