 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m trying to install a forum of a page that shares the same theme as the rest
   of the site. The theme is divided into three columns with a sidebar on the left.
   I created a new template for the forum and was able to remove the sidebar.
 * But even now the forum won’t span the width of the entire page it still stops
   at where the sidebar used to be.
 * I’ve read that this is best fixed by altering CSS but I can’t seem to find clear
   instructions on how to do this.
 * If you can help….seriously i’m pulling my hair outright now. Thanks!

 * Note: You have some code showing for your template
 *     ```
       < ?php
       	/*Template Name: Forum
       	*/
       ?>
       ```
   
 * it should be
 *     ```
       <?php
       	/*Template Name: Forum
       	*/
       ?>
       ```
   
 * You will need to look at your forum’s css and adjust the width which would be
   within –

 * you could put a conditional style just for page id=3 into the header.php, in 
   the line just before `</head>`:
 *     ```
       <?php if(is_page('3')) { echo '<style type="text/css"> .post { width:930px; } </style>'; }; ?>
       ```

 * Great thanks everyone for all of your help!
 * I ended up using the conditional header. This was the easiest for me ’cause i’m
   still novice but i’m working my up to editing css.
 * thanks again
