Sorry guys, I know this must be too easy to bother with because there's no mention of it anywhere. (I've spent two days on this now)

I just want my forum's title column to be a bit wider and the other columns more apropriate for their contents. (half my page is taken up by topics, posts and last post).

I know it's there but where?

The columns are all auto, there are no set widths, except the member info on topics. I suggest writing a long description for at least one of your forums (like the forums on this site), that will widen the "forum title" column, rather than giving it a set width. That way it will wrap right on all screen sizes.

Thanks Cripto9t

Well this is wierd! "Machines don't fix themselves" (Bob Hoskins, Brazil).

I tried it again and it was back to 50% of the screen.

The Title column of my "All Forums" page still occasionally shrinks to about 20% of the screen (I can't define exactly when because sometimes it does, sometimes not - even doing exactly the same thing), normally it's 50% but I want it to be 70%. I'm using firefox, 3.4.05, Access 2000.

I have already got a very long description. This is why I want it wider as it just wraps into a very tall column that has to be scrolled down. The page is already in a frame (I know) so it's like reading a newspaper column. Are the frames affecting it?

Any ideas welcome
Cheers

I don't have any experience with frames, so it might be that. But I have seen Firefox and NS7 screw up a table from time to time.
They seem to load one cell at a time, where IE kinda pops up all at once.
So you might want to check it with another browser.
I am having a similar problem with successive fieldsets w/legend tags, they are all messed up using NS7... sometimes .

Anyway, this is the code for the top table row where you would set a cell width.
The part in red is the forum title.

In "default.asp" around line 297.

if Cat_ID <> "" then
	Response.Write	"<a href=""default.asp"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconFolder,"Show All Categories","hspace=""0""") & "</a>"
else
	Response.Write 	" "

Response.Write	"</font></b></td>" & vbNewline & _

if (strShowModerators = "1") or (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then
	Response.Write	"                <td align=""center"" bgcolor=""" & strHeadCellColor & """ nowrap valign=""top""><b><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """ color=""" & strHeadFontColor & """>Moderator(s)</font></b></td>" & vbNewline

	call PostingOptions()
else
	Response.write " "
end if 
Response.Write	"</td>" & vbNewline
Response.Write	"              </tr>" & vbNewline
