Hi, Pepe.

You can use CSS to target the <footer> element and stylize it to give it the appearance of a separate wrapper.

Though looking at all of the forums tied to your global account that you're the main admin of it looks like this has already been done.

i have done it using border images but am not getting the exact look that i am after.
i guess close enough will have to do lol.

thanks for the reply

If you can explain the look you're after as well as providing a link to the forum you're trying to make the change on we should be able to assist you.

i want to be able to put the footer in a wrapper or container so i can make it look the same as the other sections without having to use the image borders.

if you look on here  you will see that i can't apply the box shadows to make it look the same as the rest when using the borders.

sorry i am not good at explaining things.

So basically you need the footer element to reside in a container like the rest of the content on the page.

This can be achieved by adding this below the $[footer] line in Themes > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper on that theme.

<div id="footer-container" class="container"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#footer-container').append($('footer'));
</script>
