Changing width of Welcome table.

[My Display Name]

Alright I've tried everything I could, is there a way I can change the width of the welcome table without changing the width of the entire forum?

The width of the entire forum is dependent on the width of the wrapper, which is what's changed when you set your forum width. All of the contents of your forum are 100% width but are contained inside a div with a set width.

What you would have to do is change your layout templates to start the wrapper div after the welcome table, so you can set your welcome table's width yourself rather than being restricted to forum width.

Awesome, that did the trick. Thanks Brian

IT WORKED! I'M A GENIUS!

...I mean, yeah, of course it did.



No problem.

Can this be shown in the template coding as to where to place the wrapper div/end div codes? (*on a default template setting without other customization)

I'd really like to not have to resize every single image I have randomizing on my forum!

If you mean to duplicate what's done in this thread, it's very simple.

Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper

Move the line that says <div id="wrapper"> below the line that says </header>.

Bummer, that just made it stretch the entire width of my browser window rather than reducing the header/welcome table to a static size separate from the width of the forum. Hmm, might be worth asking for a plug in for....

Thanks anyway!

You don't need a plugin to change that.

Add this to the bottom of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet.

header {
    width: 740px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

Change the text in red to your preferred width.

By the way, you are totally my new favorite person.
Thanks a ton! I'll stop bugging you for today now.
