Hey, OK I've been looking around for a good theme to use for my site. Once I find one i'm going to completly customise the look. However, I've run into several problems. firstly, most of the good looking themes either work in IE OR Firefox - not both. Its irritating to say the least, but nevermind, I think I've found a pretty good trade off in Manji which I got off the downloads section.
OK, now for my question. I notice that the forums in Manji are too long for the single column and in IE will stretch the page until it goes underneath the navigation. In Firefox it does almost the same thing. So, is there a way to resize the forums so that they will fit? The only reason I ask is because i've been scanning through the .css files and .tpl.php files and can't seem to find a variable to adjust the forums. However, I notice that in themes like Reflection and Kubrick the forums resize to fit the column. In Reflection the forum panels squeeze and the text realigns so that everything looks right. this is the effect i'm looking for. In kubrick, the entire forums downsizes so that the text becomes miniscule and hard to read. The flatforum module doesn't really work and isn't exactly what i'm looking for.
So, is there a variable to change the size of the forums? Do I need to define a new variable? Do I need to manually theme the forums node? If so how do I do that?
btw, I'm not very good at HTML or CSS scripting, and so i'd sorely appreciate any help I can get in these areas should resizing the forums involve any of this.
