The forum itself doesn't look
The forum itself doesn't look bad at all. I like the spacing between the forum and the edge of the page. If you wanted it to fill the entire screen, you'll have to take out the padding for the table column with the id "content". It's currently set to have 15pt of padding.

Thanks!I like the 15px
Thanks!
I like the 15px padding too, but I guess what I'm really getting at is the footer of the page... the footer itself is way above the bottom border of the browser window...
The footer id height is set to 40px... though with my screen resolution (1280 x 1040) with the browser window maximized, it looks more like 500px from the bottom of the page... I'd like to get it back down toward the bottom, perhaps by extending the "white space" beneath the "Forum Statistics" section of the page...

I recall seeing a css
I recall seeing a css solution for forcing a footer to always be at the bottom of a short page, irrespective of resolution, font size, whatever.
Do a search for 'fixed footer css' and see if anything would suit
Here's one I saw.

Remember, you never know what size people are looking at it with, or whether they have resized their fonts to suit their own needs.

This is a great web site! I
This is a great web site! I would never have known how to get a footer to remain persistently visible on top of any content. For my purposes, though, I think this would give the footer more prominence than it needs... I don't mind that it scroll along with the rest of the page...
At present I'm simply trying to adjust the DIV properties...
CODE
<div align="center" style="padding-bottom:200px;">
Not quite the perfect solution, but it produces the effect I'm looking for with my screen resolution..
I'm not sure what else to do.
For an example of the problem in its original form, look at this page: http://www.mwsu.edu/forums/conservatives/f...pics.asp?FID=16
I've been working to integrate a forum into a web site, and have run across an annoying difficulty.

As you can see, the table housing the forum itself is not stretching the full length of the browser window. It will do so if the forum contents make the table stretch toward the bottom of the page. I've been trying to toy around with the CSS and Table properties in the HTML, but quite honestly, I'm stuck.
Some additional quirks: I plan on integrating the two linked CSS files at some point, though I have my doubts this is where the problem lies...
Your keen eyes would be of great help!
Thanks!
