    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?

    I have it working now! :D

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

    (I think it's not permitted for me to upload it here as I did not create the plugin to begin with)

    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. :)
