I've got the forum embedded within a new site I just put up.  It sizes just fine on the first page, but none of the others.  Once you click past the first page.  I'm not sure what is forcing the forum to be so wide, but it reuires scrolling at resolutions less than 1280x1024.

Here is the link http://www.swg-raven.com/forum

Please help me get this to resize.

Cant see any sizing issues myself, but the fact you have used Dreamweaver comes as no suprise. Sorry.

there isn't a sizing issues on the first page.  It just when you click on something.  Dreamweaver is a big help when there willbe multiple people editing the site.  The site is templated, so certain people can edit only certain parts of the site.

I'm confused.  I have looked at it on several different systems.  The first page that shows all forums is fine.  But then I click on general (this forum doesn't require login.)  and I have to scroll to the right in order to see the whole forum.  What browser are you using?  Are you on windows or mac?  Are you even clicking into any of the forums, or just looking at the first forum page.  I just wanted to make sure that we are looking at the same pages. Here is a link to one of the forums.

in order to read anything you have to scroll to the right.

Is anyone seeing what I'm talking about?

Try pitting the whole page within a table with a width of 100%

At 1024x768 there isn't a lot of room left for the forum. I think it's going to look pretty squished.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Try changing the 4th TD in your header (first link above). It currently says:

<TD width="100%" ROWSPAN=2 background="/images/template/header_bkg_tile.jpg">

I tried copying just the HTML from this page and it was too wide when previewed in HomeSite (just as it is online), but when I took out the width="100%" it fit just fine in a 900 pixel wide browser window.

I don't know what the graphics will look like though, I only had the empty placeholders, but that might be the fix to your problem.

Thank you so much.  I'll see if I can fix this.  The issue is that if I take out the width="100%", then my header becomes really ugly real fast.  That is what is telling the header to scale and tiles the background behind it.  I will see if I can find a solutions that will work without having to write some funky resize script.

What is weird is that it works with the default.asp page of the forum, but not with any of the others, and since it is an include for the header, none of the tags chagne from the default page to the other forum pages, except for the forum stuff only.  The header stays the same.  I'm not sure why it works on one page and not the others.  I will see what I can do.

I'm almost done with my other project and then will be able to mess with this again.

Again.. Thanks
