Layout question
« on: September 27, 2007, 05:10:30 pm »
I was wondering if we can make the forum smaller, like the layout of the board? I want to make a layout for my forum but I want to have the 4 faces of abba down the left hand side of the page without blocking their faces out.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Edit your css code and look for the following section:

/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
   background-color: #E5E5E8;
   margin: 0px;
   padding: 12px 30px 4px 30px;

}

The "padding" means margins and they are as follows:

1st entry (12px) = Top Margin
2nd entry (30px) = Right Margin
3rd entry = (4px) Bottom Margin
4th entry = (30px) Left Margin

take out the things under padding and put in headers or footers with selected px

chiquita if you want to set the forum to a specific width do it this way:

/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
             background-color: #E5E5E8;
             margin: auto;
             width: 600px;
             padding-top: 18px;
             padding-bottom: 2px;
}

change width:  600px;  to the width you want
change padding-top and padding bottom to how you want them
(padding-top: 18px; puts the forum 18 pixels from the top of the screen)
