I've been trying for several days to correct this problem, but haven't had any luck. I put the original stylesheets back in place in case I can get some help with this.
You can see the problem here: http://www.semportland.com/forum/
Several of the forum tables are way too wide. I've adjust the width throughout the style sheets, tried different theme styles and adjusted the width in those, and also tried manually adding a width to the forum files.
The wordpress theme is even set in a table with the center column width set at 540px. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Heather

That 'set in a table' is a bit of a worry but maybe not the issue. it's going to be hard to solve this one! When I first looked at it my gut reaction was that somewhere along the way there is a missing html closure tag on something. I have no idea if that is right but I can tell you that the W3C Validator is claiming you have 104 errors on that page.
A lot of them are tag mismatches and missing closure tags or tags closed in the wrong order.
Now I am proud to say that when SPF 3.1.3 went out of the door it was validation error free so I think you need to forget about CSS changes because that isnt going to deal with it.
You really do need to clear up those tag errors first and then we can see what is what.

I got the validation complete. It's all good now and the theme format is a simple table. I'm still unable to adjust the width though.

Well done. I AM impressed!
The problem is caused by this entry in yout theme style.css file:
.entry, .entry p {
padding-right: 10px;
width: 540px;
}
but I am not rerally sure why… hopefully you may able to work out the problem…

WOW! Thank you SOOOO much! I've been trying to solve this for almost a week. Can you tell me how you figured out which piece of the stylesheet it was?

Using the Firefox 'Web Development Tools' extension actually. It allows you to edit the CSS while the page is displayed and shows an immediate effect. No magic really - well apart from the guy who wrote this invaluable tool!
I'm glad we got it sorted!

I've never worked out how to really USE firebug. Always use it for javascript monitoring but not CSS. I'll have to work on it.
