Heya ^_^ I'm n00b using mybb 1605 on a wamp server.
I'm sure this has been done lots before, I've seen it myself quite a few times. I would like to know how to remove the container & have everything in the body, or expand the container over all the body, or I don't know how you would do it, but I've seen it done & I would like to know how to it??
Much gratitude in advance!! Thank you!!
in general, container has width property in global.css ; you can increase its value as required ...
eg. if you have #container {width: 95%; ... then make it #container {width: 100%; ..
@ranjani I did this. i made the #container width 100%, i deleted the padding in the body, but still the body or html or some other element pokes out. I attached a picture of you to see, & if you would like I could paste the css.

Why not colour the body the same as the container and pad the other elements .. I'm sure you will not loose too much screen real estate
@JimR Because I want to have somethings extend against the left & right side of the screen. They can't do that with that padding, or whatever it is, because I can't find any padding or margin that might be causing it in the css.
I might try moving some of the html above the container div.
if anyone knows how to remove this padding, pleeeease help!! 
ha!! found out how
- go to "index page templates > index page"
- add - id="container" - to the <body> tag & save
- go to "header templates > header"
- remove - id="container" - from the <div> & save
- drink some tea ^^
now I can add my own container with a width and margin that includes the elements that I want it to
Thank you for all your help though, I really appreciate it, & this must be on of the friendlies forums I have ever come across!!
why won't this thread mark as solved!! seriously, i've got it already!!
