Size of forum issue help

[dkharp]

On the default curve them when you go to change the size of the forum. "bigger" It becomes off centered. In the core theme when you do this it looks great and centered.

Any Ideas on why this happens with default curve theme?

to which side?

you can try modifying the index.css to meet your requirements

When your using the default curve them and go into admin/ current theme/ width of forum. Say you set it to 110% it becomes off centered to the right.

use this in css/index.css

Code Select Expand

body
{
background: #E9EEF2 url(../images/theme/backdrop.png) repeat-x;
font: 78%/130% verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 0px;
}

Thank you. That worked perfectly!  Now everything is in frame and the browser shrink in firefox and ie works on all screen resolutions.

I suggest this for anyone who is having the same issue. The default curve theme is so pretty.

body
{
   background: #345078  repeat-x;
   font: 78%/130% verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   margin: 0 auto;
   padding: 15px 25px;
}

some user will have problems with their screen resolution

I suggest this

Code Select Expand

{
   background: #E9EEF2 url(../images/theme/backdrop.png) repeat-x;
   font: 78%/130% verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   margin: 0 auto;
   [b]padding: 15px 2%;[/b]
}

I just tried to change it to that and there was no background color visabel what so ever. What type of issues would they have?

However, there are three further questions you should ask yourself at this point:

    * Do I want to set a new % width to expand and contract with the browser window?
    * Do I want to set a new fixed width regardless of the available browser window?
    * Do I still care if it's centered in IE 5 and 5.5?

The most important thing to me is that it is centered and everything fits. Ok to do this. What I did what change it back to the Original

padding: 15px 5%;

and just changed it to

padding: 15px 2%;

Seem ok.  Thank you kindly for your responses. This is such a good community.
