    Description of problem

    Hey guys. I have a serious problem. I have messed up a design I have been working on for a loooong time and I don't know what to do about it now.

    I like trying new things with the templates, I didn't have any problems with them until now. I usually make small changes with them that I can't do with CSS. Yesterday I tried to move a few things to other places in CSS, when the most terrible thing I could imagine have happened.

    Like I usually do, I made a new backup save from the template, just in case, then reversed back the original template. Then everything went crazy, my forum messed up, no matter what I did.

    After a few hours of agonizing and crying, I was able to achieve as much as you can see on the image and the link. Whenever I try to do even the smallest change in some of the templates (the ones that affect the main board), my forum messes up - again. Now I have deleted every one of the modified templates (ofc I have backups for them), but it is still not okay. As you can see on the image, the main problem is the width of the forum. I can't shrink it, I am not able to make is small enough to fit the background image.

    I have also made a test forum, I installed the same skin and CSS codes, and even some of the templates. It works just fine there: http://clefairy.hungarianforum.com/
    But not on the main forum.

    Another thing: I have tried to install a random other phpbb2 skin. The same problem occurred, the width of the forum is too much...

    Please, help me, I don't know what the problem is. Sad
