Forum is too wide. Please help

my forum is too wide . You have to scroll across to read the whole page. I did a search and tried a few things but It's still the same way. Can someone shed some light on what I'm missing to fix it?

hello,
there is two ways for you to decrease your forum width.
first method is by adjusting it on admin panel

Admin panel :: General :: Configuration :: Pages Structure

Forum width (number or %) : 'Set it value you want to be'. commonly people will use around '80%'. Press 'SAVE'

another method is by placing a CSS code on stylesheet.

Admin panel :: Displayl :: Picture & Color :: Color :: CSS Stylesheet

on white empty box there, you can paste this code (for phpbb2) :

Code:

.bodylinewidth {width:80%}

Dont forget to click on 'SUBMIT' button

I tried it both ways and it stayed the same. Does it take a while for it to work? I even went down to 50% just trying to see what happened but it didn't change. I did hit save by the way. I've been messing with this part for about 3 houirs and it has me stumped

hiya,

try go again here. check if there is any pre-existing css code on white box.

Admin panel :: Displayl :: Picture & Color :: Color :: CSS Stylesheet

if there is, you need do find this css

Code:

.bodylinewidth { ...}

and add this value inside the bracket { }

Code:

width:80%

tried it again. same thing. This is what I put in the box.
.bodylinewidth { width:80%}
I pushed submit and it said that it was updated but it's still too wide for the screen. This is the second forum I've made and the first one worked fine. Like I said before I even put in 50% just to see if it would drop but nothing happened.

lol i found your real problem there, its not about CSS fault at all. the problem cause by you skin picture.
this skin here : http://en.hitskin.com/search-a-skin/dead-city-114194.htm has use super large images as background & logo,

background size is 1213px (W) x 859 (H) BACK
Logo size is 1120px (w) x 210px (H) LOGO


somehow this images prevent your to re-size forum width respectively. So all you need is replace it both images with smaller width of images,

then reupload it back here :

ACP :: Display :: Picture & Color :: Picture management :: Advance mode

Logo goes to 'Forum main Logo'
Background images goes to 'Background picture (page) :'

preview it HERE

good luck
