Phpbb 3.1.10 site width issues

[brassuk]

Hi again all,

I have just made a fresh install of 3.1.10 on my new site and the forum is very narrow in the middle of the screen with large gaps left and right and on my previous older version on another site it took up all of the screen even on a 27 inch imac, could somebody help me please to get the forum wider?

Thanks in advance.

That's because phpBB currently has a fixed-width on prosilver by default.
If you want to change that max-width to something larger, it's this code in your style's common.css file.

Code: Select all

.wrap {
	border: 1px solid transparent;
	border-radius: 8px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	max-width: 1152px;
	min-width: 625px;
	padding: 15px;
}

Thanks very much both of you. Just a quick question with regards to refreshing the theme as detailed below:-

Then refresh your theme - ACP => Styles => Style Components => Themes.

Styles tab does not exist and I don't see anywhere to refresh?

Thanks.

That's not necessary anymore. Those instructions were for 3.0.x.

[brassuk]

Aaaaaa ok that's great! Thanks again very very much for all your help

Thanks.

Well I edited the common.css file in cpanel and changed first to 3000px and refreshed my site and no change? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Did you clear all cache files

[brassuk]

I had not purged the cache so thanks but I just did it now and no change.

The text I changed in the css is as follows:-

#wrap {
border: 1px solid transparent;
border-radius: 8px;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 5000px;
min-width: 625px;
padding: 15px;

Could we have a link to your board?

[brassuk]

sure - www.candydoll.club

For me the forum is at the max width. Maybe you need to do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) to see the changes?

I see your board as full width on a 32 inch monitor. and I see the correct css that you changed.
you need to refresh your browser a couple of times to see it.
