I added the forum… When someone wants to add a new topic or reply to post, the box that pops up where they would do this does not fit and goes into my sidebar. Anyone else have this problem? How do I fix it without taking out my sidebar?

Take a look at the online help - 'How To' section - 'TinyMCE Editor'.
If all goes to plan and we have time then we hope to introduce tools to make this easier and more automatic.

Great, that worked for the buttons, but the title bar still goes over the sidebar. What do I need to do here? Also thank you for your help (and the great plugin).

You should be able to chage this with the grab handle that you should have in the bottom right of the editing window. Grab it and drag the window to the desired size and it should then stick.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Can you explain where I would see the grab handle? Maybe I confused you, it's the Topic Name box that still goes into the sidebar.
Also in IE, the Select Forum and New\Recently Updated Topic boxes, that have the dropdown, go outside of the box they are supposed to be in.
I don't mean to be a pain, but let me know if you can help me with this.

Oh dear.. you really are squashed up there and you have the fonts so big. That really isn't enough space but….
simple-forum/forum/sf-forms.php
find line 63 which reads:
$out.='<input type=”text” tabindex=”3″ class=”sfcontrol sfpostcontrol” size=”60″ name=”newtopicname” value=”" />'.”\n”;
change the size=”60″ to size=”45″
then go into the skin CSS and add the following:
#sforum #sfpostform {
width: 500px;
}
that should do it.
I would also recommend going into the forum Options > Styles tab and turning off some of the icon text labels - at the moment you have them appearing but you are using an icon button set so the text just gets repeated.
But mainly - I would recommend making the font smaller and creating a tenmplate without one of the sidebars so the forum fits better.

That worked perfectly. Thanks! I thought the fonts were pretty big too, but I didn't know how to make them smaller. Want to give me one last pointer here?
Again thank you for all the help.

Open up the skin CSS file and look near the top where there should be an #sforum entry with just a font size - as a percentage. Start by reducing that. This will make most font sizes smaller proportionately. tweak it until happy. remember you may need to refresh your browser cache between each change and test…

Are you talking about this file: sf-framework? If so I am not seeing anything at the top, but there is this at the bottom:
#sforum .sfposttable td.sfpostcontent .mceToolbar img.icon {
margin:0px;
}
.sfdebug,
.sfdebug code {
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
background: #e7fafb;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;
padding: 3px 10px 3px 10px;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 130%;
text-align: left;
vertical-align: middle;
}
I changed the 130% and the text size didn't change. I cleared the cache and didn't see a difference. Am I in the wrong place?

No, not that file… you need to go into the actual skin directory that you are using, in this case minimalist… edit the minimalist.css file, looking for the #sforum entry at the top that andy mentioned…
I should also note, that if you have been modifying the skin css file itself, it will be overwritten the next time you upgrade simple:press forum… it would be best to make your own skin… to do this, copy the minimalist directory to another directory and call it whatever you want… then go into this new directory and rename the minimalst.css file to the same name as the directory you just created being sure to keep the .css file extension… then go into the admin options and select your new theme…

Alright, I finally got that done. Thank you both for all the help. I promise, I'll leave you alone now. This is a great plugin.
