the side bars aren't spacing apart. two of them have, but after the third side bar, they are all sticking together. :/

Remove all of the info you placed in the ID fields of each of your content boxes. Those actually do things, so you shouldn't place anything in them unless you know what you're doing.

By increasing the width of your site to accommodate it.

Everything in V5 is contained within the wrapper, which determines your forum width based on what you've set it as in the Themes section. So when the sidebars come in they take away part of that width.

The ID is an HTML attribute used to uniquely identify an item on the page.

Pretty much all of your <div class="box"> elements didn't have closing </div> tags, as well as some of your <center> tags, so they were breaking the sidebar spacing. I've gone through and fixed these.

That code to change the font size works great. How about one to change the color, or bold text ? Also, how do I center content in the boxes ?

Learning this, one step at a time..

font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;
text-align: center;

^ Add those inside the style attribute of the font tag.

How do I make it so there's equal space/padding on the right hand side of my table?

What's the URL to the forum you're doing this on?


Thanks Brian, will try this today.

Greetings,

I have a question for my side bar.

I want to make the text more of a paragraph. It doesn't seem like that on mine. Is there a code I should have in there? Just wondering.

Thanks!

Can you expand on that a bit?

Right now the contents of the first container of your sidebar are divided into several paragraphs. Is there something that's meant to be formatted differently?

[skylarzenar58]

I seemingly got it, so it looks like. Thank you, though.

I do have another question that popped into my mind.

I was thinking of making a 'Live feed' (If thats possible) Announcements side bar thing. How would I go about doing this?

Hi Brian this should be dead simple - well, not to me but you at least. I'm using the plugin on my site here

I've got it sorted using a picture and some text underneath the pic. What I wanted to ask is how do I change the colour of the text?

In the plugin I have:

<font style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Helvetica;"> <center><b>SHUSH! REDUX</b></center></font>

But I'm not sure how to write in something that would change the colour. Can you help me out?

Thanks bud

Depends on what the live feed is. If it's something like a Twitter code that can be embedded, then there's no reason it shouldn't work.

However, we don't provide anything here that automatically updates when posts are made on the forum without you refreshing.

I dunno if you've already covered this somewhere, but is there a way to attach the sidebar to the forum, remove the navigation tree, and connect the banner/navigation bar so that it's all one big piece?? The way I'm imagining it is that that banner goes across the top, the categories/boards and side bar go right beneath it?

[Brian]

Attach? Like, remove all the spacing and make the entire forum part of one big table?

Not necessarily with my plugin alone. Although at the very least setting Move Banner to No accomplishes part of that. You'll have to be a bit more specific as to what you want though.

[?Leslie?]

Yeah, I'd like it to be one big table if possible. I don't want spacing between the banner, the categories, and the side table.
