Re: [PHP] PHPBB2
Clearly the BB is designed to fill a page... it seems to have a minimum width, given the colums, images, etc etc that you can't really avoid... I'm not clear on the terms/licensing of the BB, but I'd try a mixture of: 1. editing the table code(s) it looks like the forums column can be shrunk down, which would reduce the overall size. 2. replacing some of the images and larger items with smaller ones 3. reducing the font size BTW - it's fine at 1024x768, so maybe it's *okay* for a certain % of your user base it wouldn't be for my target market tho.
