I am the owner of antiqueclassicautos.com and I am trying to implement the discussion board with icy phoenix because I like the fact the gallery was intergrated. However I am having trouble understanding and finding a resolution to my problem, The front index page is nicely centered but when you go to a forum or any other page the forum seems too large to fit on the computer screen, I am using 1024 resolution for my monitor and figure most users will use this also, if users of the forum do not see all of the site without scrolling from side to side, how do I solve this ? P.S. Looking for volunteers and volunteer programmers for the site.

Try to use percentual width lengths, not decimal numbers of pixels.

Hi,

What you should only need to do is:

OPEN:

/templates/mg_themes/index_body.tpl

FIND:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

			<b>{L_RECENT_TOPICS}:</b>

			<marquee id="recent_topics" behavior="scroll" direction="left" height="10" width="900px" scrolldelay="100" scrollamount="4" loop="true" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">|

CHANGE 900px to 85%
