Description and Message
Hey guys, i've gone through the entire english support section to find out how to adjust the center block width, and i have followed all the different suggestions including changing the settings in the News section to not display replies and views and etc. but even after that i still needed some extra width for my center blocks to make it look the way I want it which is when i found a thread that said to edit portal_body.html and change

Code: Select all

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

to

Code: Select all

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="1024">

which is the width that i want. But this is what happens when i do that.

Oh, one more thing, it goes out of alignment everytime i put a width value of more than 800px! Thanks again guys.

The problem is that the theme you use is "fixed width" so even though you make the central column wider, the blank space to the left of the page doesn't shrink to accommodate it. I'm not as savvy with design as some other people, hopefully they can explain further.

I actually just found a solution. All i had to do was edit common.css change the width values for #wrap. Problem resolved! Thanks guys.
