i have the same issue with a similar site.

your solution looks like an excellent one, but unfortunately it didn't work for me.

i was able to turn off the modules that appear to the right of the forum, but even though they are gone now, the forum does not naturally expand.

my site is 750px wide, but the template i'm using calls for a 558px width to allow for the modules to appear at the right.

here is the code from my css file:

#content {
float: left;
width: 558px;
border: 0px solid #c00;
padding-top: 20px;


if i change the width to 750px in the above code, it throws my whole site's layout out of whack. it makes the forum page look right, but every other page is a mess with text spilling over and pushing the modules very far down on the right side.

can you possibly offer a solution to my problem? i would really love to get the forum to expand to the 750px width of the site.

thanks for any help.
