I have removed all my modules yet when I read a post the right side is cut off by just a few letters. I have attached a scree shot so you can see. How to I expand the width of the forum?

What Joomla template?

using joomla 1.5 and the template is siteground earth (3rd party)

Ugh. Siteground makes a lot of templates that don't have collapsible left and/or right modules. Even if you do unpublish them for the forum the Joomla template might not allow FireBoard to utilize the full width of the space.

Does it do it on the default Joomla template?

If you are using Defualt_EX Template you have to manually adjust the width of the Template in the forum.css file. Located here: components/com_fireboard/template/default_ex/forum.css

That is..... if you are using the version downloaded from here.

I believe if you are using FB1.0.5NB the problem has been fixed and set to Auto Adjust.

To modify it open the file in Notepad or some other txt editor and I believe the very last line at the bottom of the page should have a "Width" of maybe 750px.... adjust this number to suite your needs.

Thanks,

You also need to follow these directions:

- Unzip and upload default_ex folder on your fireboard template directory
(components/com_fireboard/template/def ualt_ex)
- Go to fireboard configuration panel on your joomla admin and change template and image set to "default_ex" then click to save button.

- Open your fireboard language file (administrator/components/com_fireboard/ language/english.php) and add

DEFINE('_FB_ALL_DISCUSSIONS', 'All Discussions';
DEFINE('_FB_CATEGORY', 'Category:';
DEFINE('_FB_CATEGORIES', 'Categories';
DEFINE('_FB_POSTED_AT', 'Posted at';
DEFINE('_FB_AGO', 'ago';

I noticed the site was missing the language necessary to make the template work properly.
