HI

I am using the Daze Blue template, and I would lie to center the forum at a fixed width of 800px.

Fixing the width is easy enough, I've done that through the CSS (can also be done via a <div> tag in index.template.php

How can I now center this 800px forum?  I can't seem to get this part figured out

Thanks!  :)

enter <center> right after the <body> tag, and </center> before the </body> tag :)

<div style="width: 800px;" align="center">
<table> tags
in the CSS

Im not sure, but i think you should have had it like this: <div style="width:800px; margin:auto" ....> ,to have it centered.
