700 pixel wide board?

[evoir]

Hi, I am trying to make my VB be 700 pixels or less based on our web design. On our previous board (UBB) there was a setting in the CP and then we placed the board within a 700 pixel table in the header field and closed the table in the footer field. On VB this did not work. Our board busted out as big as your browser was open (100%).

So, I manually went in an closed every table in "header" and "footer" down to 700 pixels. This solved the problem on the main index and the forumdisplay pages. But the showthread page is still at 100%.

I would like to set this function Globally, if possible, instead of having 8 different templates I'd have to open to make sure some window wont pop open to 100% while someone is browsing our board.

Is there a simple 1 step way to set this up?

Put your forums in a table, all you need to do is edit teh header and footer.

ie: in the header:
<table border="0" width="700" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFFF"><tr><td>

and in the footer:
</td></tr></table>

Thanks. it worked. Even though I have tried it many times already. I guess the fact that someone else suggested it is what made it work this time? phew. Thanks. E

MrBrian,
She is not on the current cover. She was a while back. From what I know, she is not gay. But I still think your chances are pretty slim.
