Thank you LDM! After 3 hours of reading posts on the phpbb site and Googling quite a few other sites, I finally stumbled upon this thread and was able to successfully change my forum to a fixed width. I knew that it couldn't be THAT complicated and that I was probably missing something very simple. It was the template refresh--every other thread simply stated to refresh the theme.

Once again, thanks so much!

Hi

Thats not quite the issue, i can get the table to change size but there are other elements that don't resize with that.

I can't put a link sadly due to my newness but if you google Fradley Forum you should find it

I will continue to fiddle but any ideas very welcome

Found you and think found the issue in your css main blocks. Change the width. Upload and refresh theme.

Code: Select all

/* Main blocks

---------------------------------------- */

#wrap { 

	padding: 0 20px; 

	min-width: 650px; 

	width: 850px; 

	margin: 0 auto; }

Tried that, if i change the 850px to anything the main tables grow and shrink as i ask them to, but there must be something else controling the background (bit with the grass)

Here is a section of the common.css that is labeled as if it could be important

Code: Select all

/* Round cornered boxes and backgrounds
---------------------------------------- */
.headerbar {
	background: #ebebeb none repeat-x 0 0;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	margin-bottom: 4px;
	padding: 0 5px;
}

.navbar {
	background-color: #ebebeb;
	padding: 0 10px;
}

.forabg {
	background: #b1b1b1 none repeat-x 0 0;
	margin-bottom: 4px;
	padding: 0 5px;
	clear: both;
}

.forumbg {
	background: #ebebeb none repeat-x 0 0;
	margin-bottom: 4px;
	padding: 0 5px;
	clear: both;
}

.panel {
	margin-bottom: 4px;
	padding: 0 10px;
	background-color: #f3f3f3;
	color: #3f3f3f;
}

.post {
	padding: 0 10px;
	margin-bottom: 4px;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: 100% 0;
}

.post:target .content {
	color: #000000;
}

.post:target h3 a {
	color: #000000;
}

.bg1	{ background-color: #f7f7f7;}
.bg2	{ background-color: #f2f2f2; }
.bg3	{ background-color: #ebebeb; }

.rowbg {
	margin: 5px 5px 2px 5px;
}

.ucprowbg {
	background-color: #e2e2e2;
}

.fieldsbg {
	/*border: 1px #DBDEE2 solid;*/
	background-color: #eaeaea;
}

span.corners-top, span.corners-bottom, span.corners-top span, span.corners-bottom span {
	font-size: 1px;
	line-height: 1px;
	display: block;
	height: 5px;
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

span.corners-top {
	background-image: none;
	background-position: 0 0;
	margin: 0 -5px;
}

span.corners-top span {
	background-image: none;
	background-position: 100% 0;
}

span.corners-bottom {
	background-image: none;
	background-position: 0 100%;
	margin: 0 -5px;
	clear: both;
}

span.corners-bottom span {
	background-image: none;
	background-position: 100% 100%;
}

.headbg span.corners-bottom {
	margin-bottom: -1px;
}

.post span.corners-top, .post span.corners-bottom, .panel span.corners-top, .panel span.corners-bottom, .navbar span.corners-top, .navbar span.corners-bottom {
	margin: 0 -10px;
}

.rules span.corners-top {
	margin: 0 -10px 5px -10px;
}

.rules span.corners-bottom {
	margin: 5px -10px 0 -10px;
}

Well this is your background bit with the grass but that will resize depending on the main part http://www.fradleyforum.com/styles/Gree ... _round.jpg

What happens if you drop the main blocks to say 780px, could you take a screen?

Hi

Sadly they are not related... if i move it to 780px the main forum.. header and all resive

however the background remains the same width, and i have tried editing the grass graphic but as it repeats it makes no diff

Thanks for looking... its beyond me!

Ah so you are trying to change the background width as opposed to making the main block size fit it currently?

Hi, sorry if i didn't explain it well... basically i now have the forum at 850px which fits all screens and allows me to put a banner on the site (my goal with this)

However... that background doesn't resize with this edit and i have no idea where to look for the value that makes it resize. I thought it might be margins but which one
