Resize container after removing sidebar

    I think this might be a very stupid question, but I just can’t find where to modify the size of the main container on a page after I’ve removed the sidebar.

    The page I’m trying to fix is here : http://www.southerngamer.net/forum

    I created a separate page theme to remove the sidebar, and then created a new entry to style.css (#content_forum) to stretch the content across the page, but the white part is mystifying me.

    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi – The reason it appears you can’t modify the width of the contents area (you actually HAVE modified it) is because the width of the white area is contained in a background image that displays the full width of your site.

    You can see background strip here:
    http://southerngamer.net/wordpress/wp-content/themes/WP_Premium/images/container-cbg_black.gif

    The rounded corner top part is here http://southerngamer.net/wordpress/wp-content/themes/WP_Premium/images/container-bg_black.gif

    and there would be a 3rd for the rounded corner bottom.

    You’ll have to make 3 alternate background images that have the white part the correct width you are after, and set the CSS up so when displaying a forum page, the alternate images are displayed instead of the normal ones.

    Thank you so much. I would have pulled my hair out before figuring out they were background images. Took me some time modifying my forum template page (I tried calling a modified header and footer at first, but ended up just copying and pasting the whole of the header and footer into my forum template page and changing the css links.

    Thanks again!
