Help With AcidTech Width :)

[DontWannaName]

Hey!

I know you get this a lot but I was wondering what values to set the forum widths with. I am using Iframes to get my forums centered with my website's header. Site: www.topnotchclan.com/forums.html
I got it close, I have tried editing both the widths in the ca_config and the iframe's width but none are right. I added up the image widths in my websites header and got 865 if that helps? I tried that value with no luck. Also, maybe you can help me fix that little space above my websites header?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

Change it to 100%, then adjust iframe width as you want. I suggest you not to use iframe, and edit overall_header.html and overall_footer.html instead to put your header/footer.

What do you think I should set iframe to? I tried 865 which is the width of the icon and the header gamer image added together but it didnt work. I cant use the header as images cause I have tabs and such.

Nothing stops you from copying those imagemaps to forum.

My forum displays better in Firefox than in IE. In IE I see a white bar on the left side of the forums and the forums arent in place like they were in Firefox. Im using Iframes but for some reason some people say the height of the forum is fine and I see it as being 2 inches. http://www.topnotchclan.com/forums.html

Also, how do I change the image in the Whos Online and Statistics area? I would name them the same but I need to use a different file type.

That's probably because your iframe is HTML, but forum is XHTML. IE doesn't like when different parts of page use different standards.

Change filenames for those images in index_body.html

I have edited somthing bad that I dont know how to fix. I reinstalled pro silver and acidtech by reuploading and deleting the cache but I cant get the header to show or the sides of the forum. www.topnotchclan.com/forum

Looks fine to me. You might need to clear cache in your browser.

I restarted my computer and it looked better. Wierd, I use firefox mostly and getting the website to look the same in both poses a problem. I posted in the phpbb forums for iframe help.

I posted and they also suggested I use the overal_forum header instead of iframes. How do I go about getting the 4 images into the header with all the links like the one on the homepage. Those are 4 different images for the header.

[CyberAlien]

Just put html code for it in overall_header.html

Ok I edited but get a small space between the top 2 images and the navigation image. Also, I have the width set to 800 in ca config and its still 100%. I had to take out the ca width maintable in order to get my header to work. How do I get it back to the header width? Thanks.

Amazingly I got it to look right! How do I make the right and left gray background look like the rest of my site? Theres 2 images that make the top dark and a #color for the rest. Also, the forum looks like crap in IE but fine in firefox, how do I make it ok for IE? Thanks for the much needed help.
