Default How can forums auto adjust?

I asked about this in the thread which the style was created but didnt get any response. Here is what I wrote:

Quote:
...some modifications with different forum widths, it doesnt automatically adjust itself so it makes it look off balanced. Heres probably a better example:

On another forum I run, it auto adjusts so I was just wondering HOW to do that. It doesnt need to be implemented into the skin, I would just like to know how to do it.
So for all those css inclined...if someone can help me out here. Thatd be helpful.

Cyberalien, I notice on your styles that they auto adjust which is perfect. Like say for example in the above screenshot, it would expand to fit. (The forum widths are also the same for both skins.) I hope you can help .^_^

Use table instead of div for content. If you set fixed width for div, it won't expand when content is larger than its width, but tables do expand. It usually shouldn't be done as tables shouldn't be used for layout, but it works much better for situations like one you have on your forum.

Yep, I'm using them on my vBulletin styles, because of this very problem, and because I can't figure out how to make threaded view work without tables (tried many times, doesn't work unless I use tables. I must be missing something).

Now I feel like a bit of a nuisance but I cant find where to change it. I tried comparing both skins to see where the differences are and I found alot and Im not sure if I changed one thing, if it would impact the rest of the skin. T_T
