How to Change PHPBB Screen Resolution to 800 X 600

I was looking for a way that will allow me to make my phpbb boards to fit in the screen for resolution 800 X 600 . Kind of like www.able2know.com/forums/
not matter what is the resolution it fits the screen.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

 

if its your football and students talk forum, the resolution dosent matter, for the forum just fit to the resolution the users have, unless you want to put something extra in, in one of the sides

 

yes, you are right, i am thinking to put couple of banner on one side also. Also , when i checked my forums on the smaller res. screen then its doesnt fit perfectly, i had to scroll left or right. But for higher res. it does fit perfectly. i am confused based what you have said fitnawake

 

Hopefully others can confirm this for me, but looking at my forum stats, (try google analytics), I have LESS than .00001% of users that are using a screen size that's less than 1024*768, so I wouldn't go as small as 800x600. That extra space should give you reasonable space for ads on the side.

As for making it fit, a simple code change to your overall_header.php file should do the trick. Check phpbb.com for help with the coding if you need, but it's pretty straightforward.

 

Personally I just upgraded from 800 to a slightly larger 900, which seems to work well. But anyhow...

Just change the #Wrap in your style sheet:

Here's mine:

/* Main blocks
---------------------------------------- */
#wrap {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
	padding: 0 20px;
        width: 880px;
	min-width: 650px;
        margin: 0 auto;
}

Code (markup):

the width and the margin is the 2 statements your going to want.

 

Template change is needed, no editing in the phpbb code part.

 

Either a template change, either changing the top table in overall_header.tpl (quite similar to the wrapper) to "100%" width.

 

If we're talking about PHPBB3, there is no tables.

 

thanks and great info. i will change my forums tonight
