Need to move the board more to the left.

  1. My board is too far to the right, leaving a huge empty patch. It is also adding problems when I post images into a post. The image will be too big and will stretch across out of the board.

    Example:
    http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j300/AndyWilliams24/board.jpg
    and
    http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j300/AndyWilliams24/board2.jpg

    Would moving the board over to the left help the image situation? If now how can I put a image size cap on?

    Thanks in advance

  2. I don't know about image sizing, but there might be a plugin. Go to the Extend tab and do a search.

    You should be able to move your layout around by changing the theme's style.css file. I learned to create my theme by drastically changing one css setting at a time so it was obvious what the setting did, then getting it how I wanted. Learning what your theme's stylesheet does is essential if you're going to modify it in future.

    Personally, I think there's nothing wrong with white space on a forum. It can give a much cleaner look.

  3. You can't make an image size cap that will work in all browsers, but in theory you should be able to 'crop' the image via overflow. See http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_pos_overflow.asp and you'll want to add it to .threadpost

    In theory you could also make a css entry for (I think...) .threadpostimg {} along these lines: http://phydeaux3.blogspot.com/2006/01/max-width-and-faking-it-for-ie.html (which will xplain why IE sucks).

    As for why you have that dead space... You have a left margin :) Trim that down.
