Resize Banner Width/Welcome Table?

[Jason]

I was hoping to resize the banner/welcome table portion of the site without changing the width of the forum. Also, if this is possible, would it be compatible with the "Classic Proboards Menu" plugin?

Thank you.

Hi

Could you provide a link to the forum in question, so we can see how you have the banner image set up

And you could try the classic menu, and see how it goes.  It should be alright.

Yes, sir...

Link also in signature.

I have the plugin going for the classic menu, already. I also have interchangeable banners.

I would just prefer the forum actually be a bit wider while the banner table width and welcome menu button table width stays at 700px.

The first thing you'll need to do is go to your wrapper template:

Admin > Themes> Layout Templates>Forum Wrapper

Find this...

<div id="wrapper">
<header>

and paste it (move it) right above the closing </header> so it looks like this:

<div id="wrapper">
<header>
</header>

That separates the forum from the banner/menu. And you will see that made the banner really wide, which you do not want so now you need to add a div around that to fix the width. So scroll back up and add a div (blue) above the bold:

<div style="width:700px; margin:auto;">

<div id="banner-container" role="banner">
<h2 id="banner">
$[forum.title]
</h2>

Now you need to close that div so scroll down to where you moved the wrapper div and right above it add the blue:
 

</div>
<div id="wrapper">
<header>
</header>

Last step: Go to: Admin>Themes>Advanced Styles & CSS>Visual Editor>Width

Now set your forum width to whatever you want:

I knew the menu area needed to be separated from the body of the forum, I didn't even think to look in the forum wrapper. Thanks for the halp!

In all seriousness, thank you. I'm very appreciative of the assistance.

Lol, did you draw that ^^? Anyway, happy to help, anytime. Your site looks good!

[Jason]

Not my drawing. It is a pretty famous internet meme and I thought it was a good representation of my gratitude.

Thanks for the compliment on the site. Still a work in progress, but I'm getting there.

Unfortunately it looks like the "Welcome Head Below Ad" code is not compatible?

What code is that? If you want your ad above your welcome table just move this: $[header] and put it like I have it below:

$[header]

<div style="width:700px; margin:auto;">
<div id="banner-container" role="banner">
<h2 id="banner">
$[forum.title]
</h2>

I am clearly out of my element. I deeply appreciate it, even if it was no sweat.. Thank you so much.

Apparently not out of your element because I see it above your banner.  Always happy to help and thanks for being so appreciative.
