Awesome plugin…
What I want to do, is remove the 2 right-side sidebars just on the forum page. Seems there should be a Wordpress option for that, maybe in the future tho.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, I got it. I’ve removed the 2 sidebars for the forum page only, now I need to figure out how to increase the width of the forum itself on that page.

See the tutorial in the ‘Articles’ tab on my sidebar. Hopefully that will help.
Most themes define a section called ‘#content’ which is probably the one you need to work with.

Yeah, Yellow Swordfish I already read that. I researched it for a few hours last night but what I did was rename the page.php to forum.php and took out the sidebar code. Nowhere in the forum.php is there a #content tag. I’m sure there is a way in PHP to put that in, but I’m not exactly sure.
BTW…I’m registered now.. yaaay!! lol..  Figured I’d be around for a while.

The #content ‘tag’ is not in the forum. It is in your WP theme CSS file. And it might not be called #content. That is just a possibility and what it is often called - especially by theme authors who start with the WP default theme as a model. The modifications for column width need to be done in the style.css of your theme.

check your header.php file… a lot of theme authors set up the basic layout in that file…

I’m using the WP Default Theme 1.6 by Michael Heilemann. Does someone have a template file to share to be used with SF (i.e. without sidebar) - or would I need to tweak several files for that?

Managed to find out what to do. Here’s what I did.
1) Created a new file (sftemplate.php) based on page.php in my template folder.
2) Added <?php /* Template Name: forum */ ?> in the beginning of the file.
3) Removed the line having a reference to sidebar from it.
4) To get wider forum table, changed "narrowcolumn" to "forumcolumn" in template file and created definitions for it in styles.css (copied widecolumn defs). Changed basically only .forumcolumn settings to "margin: 5px 0 0 50px;" and "width: 600px;"
5) Changed the page used by SF to use template just defined.
Works for me. Hopefully helps others as well.
