Hi, first of, great job porting these themes. They are _great_.

I have been playing around with the Great outdoors theme and my question is, is there a way for me to change the theme so instead of having 2 right columns, In can have one column, half the size?

When playing around with the theme I noticed that when using the Forum function it becomes a single column. I would like to have that everywhere.

I guess it is just to change either the theme.php or .css file, but I'm scared I will f**k it up.

I'm not sure if you do requests but I would really apreciate your help on this issue.

Thank you.

[Edit] Another thing. How do i change so all the text in the forum (posts) are left aligned as standard?

I tried to add

text-align: left;

In forumheader3 but that didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Hello and thanks!

To only use one menu column all the time you need to do this:
Open theme.php, delete everything from line 78 to line 159, this is the $HEADER and $FOOTER variables.
Next, search for $CUSTOMHEADER and rename to $HEADER, search for $CUSTOMFOOTER and rename to $FOOTER.
Done.

To left align the forum posts, adding "text-align:left;" to .forumheader3 should work. Unfortunately this will left align all forumheader3 fields (like the one to the left of the post, where the avatar and join date etc is).

What i do instead (on newer themes) is to include custom forum templates where the posts are "hard coded" left aligned in the html code.

Download Inanis-Glass from this site, you will see four forum templates included, upload forum_post_template.php, forum_preview_template.php and forum_viewtopic_template.php to your Great_Outdoors theme folder.
This will make all forum posts left aligned, nothing else is changed in the templates.
