Welcome Message Width Question (Sidebar Column)

I installed a Sidebar Column on my Forum--it is on the right-hand side.

My question: how do I change the Welcome Message so that it is the full width (Forum width + Sidebar width), so the Sidebar shifts down?

I hope this makes sense.

 

Did you code the sidebar yourself or did you use a plugin?

I can tell you if you hand-coded it...

 

It's a plugin (Sidebar Column).

 

I'll have to go through that plugin's source code before I can even begin to tell you how to go about this one...

 

You want it to combine with your forum width?

 

Okay, I just found the code that needs to be changed. I should have an answer for you very soon.

 

I have it working now!

Contact me so that I can give you the xml for the "corrected" side bar.

Chari -- thank you very much helping. It is most appreciated.

I followed the instructions posted above in Ak Worm's quote.

 

Easiest way... delete the guest message from your forum home and move it to the notices system.

Yes, but if the FORUMHOME is updated at all, the other solutions will be messed up if you need to revert it.

With the updated plugin, it will remain the way you want it.

 

Thanks Wayne, Chani.
