Question How do I increase the width of the Last Post column?

I have searched extensively on here and also dug through kunena.forum.css, listcat.php, showcat.php and latestx.php, but cannot see how to do it.

It must be doable, I just can't work out how!

Unfortunately, column widths are not specifically "doable" or "settable" for Kunena. It's the Joomla template you using that is overriding consideration. We can help but you can actually fix this problem for yourself! :woohoo:

The secret of my success is that I use Firebug for Firefox (and I also have an inkling of knowledge about CSS). I've also invested a couple of hours experimenting with Firebug to understand how it works. Yes, I know, spending a couple of hours to understand how a tool works may not sound like a lot of fun when you really only want to solve a problem but, believe me, when you know how it works you can solve just about anything. As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime."

I know you've probably seen me write this innumerable times before, but I'm going to write it again (obviously) because I feel that it's important: please read Before you ask for help with template issues ... .

Obviously, in order to find out where the column widths are defined in your Joomla template, it is necessary for us to know the URL of your website and, if need be, a test account if the forum page is not accessible to non-registered users.

Also, please advise what versions of Joomla, Joomla template, Kunena and Kunena template you are currently using.

Thanks sozzled. I should have mentioned that I have looked with Firebug but can only see reference to the height (150%), not the width.

I am using Kunena 1.5.9 with Joomla 1.5, for Joomla I am using the YooTheme Colorplate template and for Kunena am using blueface_1.5.7 - but have the same issue with default_ex.

Well, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" as they say. I think that the width of your "Last post" column is proportionally "about right" and I wouldn't widen it any further.

How much wider did you want to go?

If you removed the modules you assigned to the right side of your page, you would have a larger area to display your Kunena forum. Have you considered that?

Yes, it's fine in Firefox but it's too narrow in IE. I can't take away the left hand modules, which is why I just want to make the Last Post column that little bit wider.

Microsoft has to do everything differently! *sigh*

Which version of IE are you using?
