On the theme I use now, and on one of the themes created by the staff at codewiz, (which I thought about maybe using - Paradise theme ) the forum is too large. Is there a way to resize the forum to make it smaller and fit the page better with the left side blocks? I noticed that on a couple of the other themes here at Codewiz, the forums fit perfectly and doesn't streght the page.

Thanks in advance for your reply

Are you referring to the default theme currently on your site? It looks ok to me. It's collapsing to fit the size of the browser window.

/Edit: After I posted, this, I went back and checked it in Mozilla Firefox and it does not collapse in FF. Only in IE. Let me do some checking.

Are you using 800 x 600 resolution by any chance?

The forums do seem to be collapsing and expanding in both IE and Firefox for all resolutions higher than 800 x 600. The header and footer both collapse fine in 800 resolution. Try changing your screen resolution to 1024 and see if you still have horizontal scrollbars on the forums. Not a fix, I know.

One thing I do see is this line in your overall_header.tpl file
<table class="bodyline"width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center">


There's a space missing before the width attribute. I don't know if that will fix the problem or not, but it's worth a shot. If that doesn't fix it, post back here and I'll do some more checking later tonite when I have more time.

Thank you for the quick answer and help. I've changed themes and am using one created for Codewiz. All seems to be fine now. (At least in my browser icon_smile.gif
