having a slight problem with the forum width. Ive adjusted the main width too my preffered 750px, i expected the whole site to adjust accordingly but it does'nt.
When you start a new thread the box streches outside the main site area and various other tables do the same.
Any advice which can tell me where to add the extra code in the css would be much appreciated and any other files that will need editing
Full Version: forum width
That sounds odd. Do you have fixed-width graphics that exceed 750px?

no its the default IPB skin
I just edited this page (using the Web Developer extension in Firefox) to display at 750px. I'm typing in the fast reply box and everything on this page looks swell.
Okay, I've just switched to the Standard Editor and edited the page to 750px again, and the width of the page around the editor section looks to be 830px (according to the "MeasureIt" extension anyway). Is this what you mean?
You can go into your ACP and then:
TOOLS & SETTINGS > Topics, Posts and Polls > Post Editor's Width: {change to 100%}
You might want to do the same for the PM Editor's width as well.

CODE
#ipbwrapper{
margin: 20px auto 20px auto; /* centers the box, no matter the overall width, also applies a 20px gap at the top and bottom of the board */
text-align: left; /* re_aligns text to left second part of two part MSIE centering workaround */
/* EDIT THIS TO CHANGE THE WIDTH OF THE BOARD -> 750px is a common fixed resolution size */
width: 750px;
}

cheers this fixed it, although it streches outside aswell on the registration form aswell, im guessing this is another setting in the tools & settings.
