Full Version: Changing width of forums

Hello,

I've recently setup and successfully configured a very nice mybb website, I am using a free theme, and I'm wondering if I can change the width of the forums it's self, I assume it's in the .xml file for the theme, but where I'd need to edit is my question. I have intermediate HTML/php knowledge, and I can provide any information necessary. Basically, I'd like the width of the default mybb forums, but with my current theme.

Current forum width.

Thank you so much,
Derp
basically you need to change the width which is defined in pixels to %...

goto ACP >> Themes >> Your Theme >> global.css and find #container, #content, .wrapper

change the width from pixel format to % and remove the max-width property if any... if you want exact info on what to be changed, you can provide us your forum url...

Thank you for your swift reply, any other information you could give me would be much appreciated!
goto ACP >> Themes >> Your theme >> Unlimited.css

find .topmenu and change "width: 984px;" to "width: 90%;"

find .subheader and change "width: 984px;" to "width: 90%;"

find #container and change "width: 984px;" to "width: 90%;"

find .breadcrumb and change "width: 984px;" to "width: 100%;"

find .fcontainer and change "width: 984px;" to "width: 90%;"


add the following to the end of Unlimited.css

.forums {width: 74% !important;}

.sidebar {width: 24% !important;}

save everything, open the forum and hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) it, to see the changes....
