Ey all...have another question

right now my forum module only takes up the center part of the website, which is a very small section. is there any way that I can make the newbb forums extend across the center and the right blocks? my website is http://www.anyalliance.com/forum/

Thanks!

You have to adapt your theme that the left and right columns are not generated if there are no blocks present for it (The td tags with id leftcolumn and rightcolumn).
It is done in the blue_shine theme.
Then change the blocks visibility, so they don't show up for the forum module.
If you need some blocks, you can clone them and display them in center column.
That way you can have full screen width for the forum.

Hi,

I do not know what you mean by adapting the theme. How do I go about doing this? The blue_shrine theme is done nicely, and I am looking for my guild_wars theme to do the same thing. I removed all of the left and right blocks for the forums module, but do not know how to do the first thing you were talking about. I see the td tags with id leftcolumn and id rightcolumn but do not know what to do with this.

Until someone comes up with the exact changes you need to make, why don't you read this.
Never let a man who does not believe something can be done, talk to a man that is doing it.

Enlose the columns in an if statement as this (for the left)
<{if $xoops_lblocks}>
<td id="leftcolumn" align="center">
....
td>            
<{/if}>
