XF 1.4 How to edit width of main container?

[Jack V]

Hello, my site is www.venture-mc.net (click on "news" or "forums" to get to the XenForo section)

I'm not sure if I have used the correct terminology up above, but I will use pictures to describe what I mean.

I'd like to edit the width of the block horribly circled here:

And make it into something like this: (Just an example I used to signify the thinner forum nodes block.)

Is there some max value I set or something I can set in templates? If so please be specific as to where to add this!

I'd appreciate any help or comments!

Do you mean the overall page width?

If so, Style Properties -> General -> Page Width Controller.

Enter something like this in the Miscellaneous field:

I realised you have to enter a value for the width in the box next to the miscellaneous CSS box.

That's not correct.

You can enter the width as shown.

You can enter the width as shown.

It did not work doing it the way you showed. Could this be due to an installed theme?

 

[Paul B]

Possibly.

You can ask the designer for further assistance.

I have used the code shown and the width is now controlled.
But the whole forum + sidebar has now shifted to the left. There is some space on the left, but not much.
How to centre it?
