sry but I'm not understanding what do you mean but if you want to change the Forum width just like here at Forumotion please let me know.

i dont what it is called but what i want is to change the forum only, not with the widgets... sorry im not that good

Hello,

You need to do it with CSS.
Please go to Admin CP > Display > Colors > CSS
Add this code there and submit...

Code:

#main {
width : 500px !important;
}

You can adjust 500px as per needed

that was nice. but it just worked once. and after i tried different sizes, it just shows the regular size. is there no other way to adjust?

I think, you might have made some change in the code structure by mistake.

Make sure that the colons, semicolons, important tag, the value i.e. 500px etc are placed exactly how I've showed in the code above.

Please procvide a link to your forum so that I can also check whats wrong.

now i see, it is not the width problem. i tried everything to make widget appear on right side, switch from different ver,restore,etc.
i tested on phpbb2, when i put my widget on right side, it does not appear, but when i switch back to phpbb3, it shows both widget.

So, you want the widgets to appear on right side with phpBB2?

Please provide a link to your forum.

yes. id love too.

thanks for the fast reply
Also black border suddenly appear. how to fix that

First, make sure you have enabled widgets on right and have set width to 180.
Now please add the following in your CSS and submit.

Code:

#content-container #right {
width : 180px !important;
}

Hope that helps

The code...

Code:

#main {
width : 500px !important;
}

is for phpBB3. Codes for different versions vary.

I see the widgets are fine and don't overlap the forums. But if you still want to make space between them, use this code...

Code:

#right {
margin-left : 10px !important;
}

it overlaps, if it has widget on both side. so i change back on only 1 side.
but ahm nevermind, i think i will handle it next time. still got many things to fix. thank u.

Glad I could help
