it's not the avatar, because it's like that at the portal and the index too.

errr, my screenshots didn't turn out correct. Is there a thumb or attachment system i can use over here?

edit: nevermind about it not turning out correct, I just noticed you can use the scroll bar to see what I'm talking about.

Hey Jason I have another question, which is almost similar. A friend of mine just installed integramod and was looking to do the same thing I asked about. I copied my two edited files and gave them to him. The problem is, it looks fine when you are logged out, but when you log in the page is really wide (see screen shots below). The only difference I can tell is mine displays the clock in the upper left corner, and his doesn't (don't know how to make it show, he has it displayed active, right in the blocks management under IM portal). Can you help me with this? I tried to check the two links provided in this topic from Adrian, but the pages wouldn't load for me.

You could also alternatively turn off system wide headers and then use a layout that doesn't use the system wide headers(uses the "left" position instead of the "header" position). That would remove the left column from the forum index, but allow the left column on the portal page.

Actually, A, this is a slightly different issue. He was asking originally about the left column, but when clarified, his issue was horizontal scrolling on 800x600 (which I resolved on my Comic Book Review site). When he referenced my site, I knew what he was referring to.

The changes I suggested changed the header, because the logo combined with the Banner Ad pushed the page beyond the 800 width. The View Topic page changes allowed the forum topics page to display along with the left menu without horizontal scrolling on 800x600 displays.

Sorry I did not see this sooner but there is another way as documented in the archive. Poesque wrote

I knew the problem sounded familiar. I was faced with the same dilemma originally, but it just did not register fully when I read your post. You need to download the 3 Column Layout in order to do what you are asking.

You should find everything you need to know in these two threads:

http://Integramod2.com/home/viewtopic.php?t=4595

I do not know if there is a preferable method or not but it appears both wok well

OPEN: templatesfisubiceoverall_header.tpl

FIND:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

{BANNER_0_IMG}

REPLACE]

[/code]
Note: This will replace the Overall Banner from the Banner Mod. If you plan on using it, you might want to move the code somewhere else. I moved mine to the bottom of the same file.

ADD TO END OF FILE (OPTIONAL):

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

{BANNER_0_IMG}

OPEN]{postrow.BUTTONS_PANEL}

{postrow.POST_RATING} {postrow.QUICK_QUOTE}

[/code]
REPLACE:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

{postrow.BUTTONS_PANEL}

{postrow.POST_RATING} {postrow.QUICK_QUOTE}

FIND]

{JUMPBOX}

{S_TOPIC_ADMIN}
{QUICK_REPLY_FORM}

{S_WATCH_TOPIC_IMG}

[/code]
REPLACE:[code]

{S_WATCH_TOPIC_IMG}

{JUMPBOX}

{L_TOPIC_INFO}]
That should help on 800x600 resolutions. There is one other fix you can use, to prevent a post from stretching a page:

There were a couple of different things I had to do to get it to work. Unfortunately, I don't remember every change I made.

I'm at work now, but I will check tonight, comparing my site changes against the default installation to try to find most (if not all) of the changes necessary.

I looked into that before I posted. If you click "NO" it will remove the left block from the portal and the forum. I'm looking to only remove it after you click any forum from the index. At the portal and index level it is fine to see the left block, but not when you view a post, make a reply etc etc.

edit: actually doing some playing around, even if I disable the left block, the page doesn't fit the screen size. So I guess, I would need to ask about keeping the left block, but make the page fit my screen instead of having to use the scroll bar to see the right portion of the page.

Jason, when I checked your forum, everything fits the page unlike this support forum and the forum I've just setup. Could you share your knowledge on how you made this happen?

Yes. Go to the ACP -> IM Portal -> Portal Configuration
There you can change the Enable system-wide portal header from "Yes" to "No"
