Ok, seriously. I am at the end of my rope trying to fix this theme. I have edited the css and the html in every fashion except obviously the right way. This is the theme I am using on one of my sites (the one in my signature below). Well, to me everything looks perfect on the screen but for everyone else set at 1024x768 or below, its way to big. Most users are not even aware that there is a right column because they cant seem to work a scroll button, lol. Anyway, I would like to resize everything to fit comfortably within 1024 and have had no luck.

If anyone can take a peak at the file (I've zipped it for download) I would be eternally greatful.

Here is the file theme I need help with

At this point I am just short of putting my foot through my monitor so in order to save be a buck or two, give me a paypal account and I will even shoot you a few bucks for your trouble if you prefer.

As always guys, thanks in advance for all your help!!!

If you want to tweak/fix it and send it back you can email me the file direct to:
n01un0@n01un0.com
or
steelers@steelersyndicate.com


THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you haven't got it sorted before I get home - i'll have a look at this myself.

Your problem is caused by the Google block that is hardcoded in the theme.

I have it running fine without it. On 1024 res, you'll need to limit the adds to 3 wide.

Cheers.

well for 1,



you have an ad with a fixed width of 728px

your left column = 150px
your right column = 180px

728+150+180 = 1058px

which for 1 is wider than a 1024x768 display.

this difference with the ad will force the right of the page wider.

because the centre columns are set at 100% then anything in the centre column that's wider than 630px will force the screen wider on 1024x768 displays

i say 630px because even though your resolution is set at 1024px you have to allow for the scrollbars ;)

anyone using less than 1024x768 displays these days really needs to get a new monitor. i'm not saying that selfishly.. but the world is moving on and webmasters need to move on too.

if you want to cater for those users, you are really restricted if you don't want them scrolling right.. i suggest 2 column only for displays less than 1024x768, 3 columns for 1024x768 or more.

it's easier to optimize on a fixed width theme rather than fluid. but both have good sides and their downsides.

THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!

I knew it was something goofey I was missing. I didnt even think about the google thing.

Ok, so who do I owe and how much ;)


You guys are the best!!
