I am trying to center the forum and added a center tag at the top before the code and closed the tag on the bottom after the code. This works when the forum shows in firefox, but in explorer, all the content etc is centered as well.

I can't seem to find in the knowledgebase how to center the forum. If anyone knows, please advise. I know it is probably a very simple solution.

Thanks,

You should do this by editing the CSS file for your forum. The CSS file being used depends on the skin you use, so have a look in the skins page in the admin area for the path to your forums CSS file.

I found that I am using the defualt template and have pulled up the css stylesheet for that template, however I am not sure of 2 things:

1) where in the css in input the centering code

2) what code to input

I want it to be centered in any browser which displays the forum as that is the way it is set up for the rest of the website. Any help with this is appreciated.

For those who ma yneed help. I found my answer using the following:

add this to the HTML pages: <div id="page-wrapper">

add this to the css:

body {
    text-align: center;
    }

#page-wrapper {
    width: 750px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: left;
    }
