I increased the width manually in my browser and the width of the boards expanded along with it. Are you expanding the width of the forum by the width of the sidebar? Which section of the forum isn't showing correctly?

No, I went into the style css and increased the board width there in hopes it would just make everything wider so it didn't look squished together when looking at it. I'm trying to set it up so that the boards are as wide (or rather close to) as they were without the sidebar.

All you should have to do is go into Themes > Colors & Theme Creator and increase the width there by roughly 250px. The boards will be nearly the same width as they were previously. No additional CSS should be required.

Did that and all it did was move the category titles over to the right of the page. Didn't actually fix the width of the site at all. Would that mean there is something amiss in the coding?

I found out what it was. You've got a second width declaration for the wrapper on line 1551 of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet. That's overriding any width you specify in the theme settings. Removing the width property from that line should allow you to control it normally.

So should I just delete that entire line of code then?

EDIT:: Nevermind. I removed it and saw that it helped solve the problem. That's a million.

Up to you. You only really need to delete width: ###px; from that particular line.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

You've probably been asked this a lot, but I'm trying to use this to make a little staff bar on the side. I've been looking all over for the right code to use to add in pictures and links, but I haven't been able to find it.

Oh actually I found out what I was doing wrong. I was trying to use CSS instead of HTML.

Thanks anyways!

This has probably been answered, but the thread is 100 pages long, sorry :]

Can someone please tell me the code and its placement for making the links in the sidebar redux open in new tab?

Thanks!

Add a target="_blank" attribute to your link HTML.

Example:

<a href="URL TO PAGE" target="_blank">This will open in a new tab</a>

This will work on any HTML link and isn't exclusive to this plugin.

Working, tnx!

Is there a way, to edit Style 2 (No title bar, inner border color)? I would like to make the inner border transparent, so that only the content is visible, nothing else.
