Centering your board or defining a width is useful for skins using an Enhanced Maintitle and will stop them repeating.
The following code is simply added to the Header and Body section under
Admin CP --> Board Wrappers
Quote:
Â*
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" alink="#000000" vlink="#000000"><body text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000" leftmargin="2" topmargin="2" marginwidth="2" marginheight="0">
<table width="750" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#HEX" height="378" bordercolor="#HEX">
<tr>
Â* <td width="90%" height="100%" bgcolor="#HEX">
<% BOARD HEADER %>
<% NAVIGATION %>
<% BOARD %>
<% STATS %>

This code replaces the default header that comes with a new IF board.
The
Blue value changes the width of your forum. 750 is recommended as it works best for most resolutions. However the width of your board is completely up to you.
The
Red value changes the border colour.
The
Purple value changes the background of the table. (Behind the forums)
You can change the look of your border by adjusting the HTML properties.
Simply find the above part in the border code and change it to 0 if you dont want a border, or if you want to you can make it thicker.
If you want to increase the space between the border and the board-
Find that value and increase it to make the gap larger, or decrease it.
Dont want a border?
You might not want the background of the table to be a different colour than the background colour of the CSS, or have a border around your forum. If you just want to center it, then use the background colour in the CSS for the Table also, and set the border width to 0.
Want Gradients As Your Border?
You might want gradients to be your border, or you might want your boards to have a shadow. Its quite easy to do. Make a gradient in Photoshop or another Photo Editing Software and make sure that its Vertical (Up and down). Remember to make one for each side, and not just one side. Upload it to your imagehost and simply put the following code into your Header & Body portion of the Board Wrappers:
Well as you can see it goes Before <% BOARD HEADER %>. Now let me explain the parts. All the Bolded Red is the actual border Background for the Left Side. All the Italicised Red is just the Image Source for the Left Side. All the Bolded Blue is the actual background for the right side. And as before, the Italicised Blue is the image source. All you do really, is copy/paste that in and replace the Italicised and Bolded areas with the links to your Gradients.. For an example of the Gradient Border look here:
<div align=center>
</div>
