How to make the announcement wider

How do i extend the width of the scrolling announcements? thanks

Hello,

Can you please give a link to our forum?

my forum is http://sonsofanarchyforums.net

Thank you.

Go to Admin CP > Display > Colors >CSS.
Add this code there and submit.

Code:

#fa_ticker_block {
width : 150px;
}

You can adjust the width pixels as per need.

that seems to be keeping the same ration to the widgets on the forum. and then just makes the forum wider keeping the scrolling text at the same ration. I want it to go from where it is now to over the widgets.

like how it is on this forum.

Ok, try this code instead.

Code:

#fa_ticker_block .forumline {
width : 250px;
}

that worked. thank you

since you are helpful, do you know the code to place a seperate search field like the one at the top of this forum?

also, is there a way to have the members personal album show up under their avatar in their posts?

About personal album, I don't think its possible.
The search bar on top is only provided in phpBB3 but you can put it via template editing.

I'll try to find a way to put an additional search bar in templates.
I'll tell you as soon as I get the solution.

thanks... is it possible to switch frmo phpbb2 to phpbb3 without losing everything?

No, The whole template and CSS will be changes as you change the version.
