   i have succesfully removed the sidebar from one of my pages by creating a custom page template, but, the content on the page is not stretching out to where the sidebar used to be. here is my custom template. thanks

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: forum
   */
   ?>

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   <div id="content-body">
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div <?php if (function_exists("post_class")) post_class(); else print 'class="post"'; ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   <h2>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit this page','lightword'), '', ''); ?>
   <?php the_content(''); ?>
   <?php wp_link_pages('before=<div class="nav_link">&after=</div>&next_or_number=number&pagelink=<span class="page_number">%</span>'); ?>
   </div>
   <?php if ( comments_open() && $lw_disable_comments == "false" ) : comments_template(); endif; ?>
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>

   <h2><?php _e('Not Found','lightword'); ?></h2>
   <p><?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.","lightword"); ?></p>

   <?php endif; ?>
   </div>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   You'll almost certainly need to give your content body a different id and then use CSS to give it a different width.
