Problems getting site to be 800 pixels wide

[kobescoresagain]

Okay I found out what one of my major problems was in getting my site to line up. I now have the forum home page lined up, also when you click a forum, that page is lined up. But if you click on a thread it doesn't line up. and if you click members list and calander it doesn't line up. Can someone tell me where I should look in the templates to adjust this.

Could you post a screenshot of the problem and perhaps provide some template code on where the problem may be occuring?

[kobescoresagain]

Well, I can't really post the template code, because I am not sure which template it is in. If you can give me an idea, I could post the template. But my site is www.sccollectors.com/forums The homepage is fine, as well as when you click a forum to see the threads. But everything else isn't fitting right.

but what do you mean by line up and not line up ? what are you talking about ?

like the banner is 800 pixels wide, but the forum content is wider, I would like it to be 800 pixels all the way done.

my site homepage is 800 pixels wide so the outside edge of the forum meets the outside edge of the site banner, but if you go to the calander or other pages, you will see that the outside of the forum is farther out than the edge of the banner.

the problem is from your sidebar, I suppose you installed a hack from here, so please ask in the hack thread

I did download hack here, I don't think that user is providing support for the hack.

I checked out the spacer_open file. If I change outerdivwidth to something like 650 pixels. It fixes the member list problem, and the calander is now smaller, but the page tha the calander is on is still too wide. (about 90 across the screen, instead of 800 pixels wide) the calander is smaller though. Also it does not effect the size of the actual posts pages.

I disabled the hack, everything looks fine then, would their be a way that I could add a right side column instead of using this hack? And then add the information into it? That might be a better way for me to do it anyway. Thanks and I checked the last post from the maker of adcolumns was over 1 month ago

If you want a fixed layout you will have to edit a few templates to get it right.

If you don't want to edit templates move to a liquid layout (percentage) and you'll be fine.
