Hi,

I have installed the forum 7.5 and everything works great now what i need to do is alter the width so instead of the forum being 100% the length of the users moniter i want the forum to be 800 and in the centre if you know what i mean any ideas what files to edit.

Thanks.

Should just be the header.

Just put it in a table using the header and the footer files. Place the forum in a cell of the table and set the width accordingly.

You can also use the same technique to place navigation down the side like I did on http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums/ - CaribbeanChoice.com Forums .

And one note about setting a fixed width... make sure you test it at a variety of resolutions. It might not look as expected on some people's monitors. Most people use 800x600 or better, but there are (believe it or not) some people who are still surfing at 640x480! Although that's only 1 or 2% last time I checked. And also take into account that not everyone will have their browser maximized when you are testing.

So don't forget to test. Make sure it looks like you want. Most people hate scrolling sideways.
