Limit forum width?

[kNeeLy]

admincp-->styles&templates--->"go" (on your style)--->header template...

You need SUMTHING along these lines..try it and see if it works..

(this is NOT 100% a for sure thing tho..)

<div align="center">
<table width="988" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="border">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="below">

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>

I added that coding into the body tag, and well as a result the forum has become fixed. :/

Thanks for the help man, any ideas?

Maybe try combining the two ideas? Replace width="988" with style="min-width:988px" (Of course the min-width thing will only keep the content from shrinking and not the window.)

ok, it wouldnt of hurt to ask foruma-z as this is a supported template.

im cunfused on what you want.

if you want the forum to be the same width? do the following:
THIS WILL WORK...SEE IN SCREEN SHOT.
if you use FF this mite be spot on width, IE maybe be a tiny different.

1.goto style manger, Sizes and Dimensions, "Main Table Width (pixels or percentage)" put in: 1132
please note, do not add the px
after this your forum will be very close to the right width, but, your images will break, so do the following"
2.in your header template find:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav.jpg)">

change in red (100%) to 1132

3.in footer template find:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/footbg.jpg)">

again change the red part (100%) to 1132

let me know how you go.
this will work, but may be a px out, but i think you will like it only if you want the forum the width of your banner.

EDIT: added screen shot.

Ok thanks for the info, but for some reason the forum contents continue to be fluid as well as the header.

Sorry lol, i never thought of a it like that. Basically i would like the forum to be its minimum size before the banner becomes to big, and then the forum width cannot go no less wide than that. But can still be widened, for people with larger screens etc.
