| Forum width & sidebar help needed I have messed with the codes, the forum width everything and still can’t figure it out. I am trying to shrink my main forum, so my right sidebar will be a little wider, so I don’t have 2 & 3 lines for some text links. My sidebar is about an 1/2" of of what I need it to be, so its similar to here at AF. Here is my sidebar Code: table cellpadding="$stylevar[outerborderwidth]" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center"> <tr> <td> <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" style="width:100%"> <tr align="left"> <td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><b>Featured Sponsors</b></span></td> </tr>  | ||||

| If you want it to be like AF's size. Try Code: <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" class="tborder" width="90%"> <tr> <td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>Featured Sponsors</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> | ||||

The code to change that width is more than likely not going to be in the sidebar itself, but rather in chunks of code you've used to define where the sidebar is. If you're using amykahr's sidebar (the one we use at AF), this code is in your footer template. But looking at your source code, it appears to be the following HTML Code: <td style="width:150px" valign="top">

| If I remember, I'm think I am mixing the 2 of the hacks together, Amykhars and Wizards. EDIT: Ryan you are right. But the is the thing it changes all the pages, except for the forumhome page. I am using the rightsidebar as it's own templete. | ||||

| looking @ ur code it looks like there is some code snafu's. Below is code that I pulled from your site. I will mark in red the code that I think could/should disappear and in blue the code that I think will fix ur issue. Code: <!-- /Update --> </td> <td style="width:200px" valign="top"><br /> <br /> <td style="width:150px" valign="top"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="100%" align="center">

| Thanks Larry, It changes everything but the actual forumhome. I will try a couple other things. Another reason to upgrade to 3.5.4 for the easy plug-ins. LOL | ||||
