Question Giving forums their own page?

I know this might seem like a dumb question,but I'm fairly new to the kunena community.
When I installed kunena and got the entry page set up I press on the entry page and it brings
up the forums but very condensed I guess you can say. In other words it is in the middle of the page with the website template surrounding it,I hope I'm being clear enough I will attach an image to show what I mean.

Basically I would like to have a dedicated page such as how these forums are set up if that makes sense.


Thanks ahead of time.

G'day, christiand739, and welcome to Kunena.

There are no dumb questions but there are plenty of dumb answers. I will try to give you a helpful and intelligent answer.

I think this is more a question about layout and design. If you have Kunena compressed in a narrow area of space, this is because of the limitations of the Joomla site template that you have chosen. You may find this article helpful: My Joomla template is making a mess of Kunena . I hope there is some information there to assist you.

Hello and thank you for the reply.
I have gone through the information in that link and it seems to only tell me I have to pick between the template and kunena, unfortunately I'm in love with both, ha!
But on a serious note if anyone can help direct me to where I would be able to edit the template to set the right parameters that would be great,still new to joomla and I'm currently taking a class in it but we haven't gotten to that section yet

I appreciate the help though.

Oh and on a side note the template I'm using is JaxStorm by Hurricane Media,hope that helps.

Thanks for the support guys!

Oh and my website that the forums are running on is www.getyousome.net . I haven't set permissions to view so it should be view-able by all.

Therefore, in your case, you have to answer the question: Which comes first? The template or the forum?

I don't see anything wrong with your website (apart from my personal preference that I don't like dark-themed sites). What's wrong with it?

You could probably make the forums wider by moving some of the menus to the top instead of running them along the sides.

Also, NTS_Dark Free template is working fine in Kunena 1.7.1/2 and will fit in well with the Joomla tempate you have ( 9themestore.com/our-themes/kunena-forum/...-nts-dark-theme.html )

As for giving the forums their own page, you need to change the menu assignments for the modules you do and do not want on the forum accordingly. Look near the bottom of module settings and you will see what I mean.

Easiest way to make Kunena to look good is to disable left and right module positions whenever you're in Kunena menu items.
