Are you talking about borders or margins? Borders are at 1px, you cannot make them any smaller then they are now.

I am talking about what is outside the border and I would like to do the opposite. I would like to narrow the overall presentation so the board itself does not have such a big footprint on the screen. Say increase the blue( whatever color i have ) background area to be more like one inch. I dont even need the border Imight make it the same color as the background.

I hope this clarifies.

ON this very screen the background is grey. it falls just outside the white edge. I would like to reduce the overall size of the board over the background. more narrow.
Thanks

Edit header.tmpl and adjust the width of the <table> tag inside the header section.

Thank you I got it. It does also adjust the top of the header which I wasnt thinking was neccesary. But it is working.

Can you tell me what the lines are called that divide the forums and categories. Obviously they are borders but what file would I find them in.

Thanks. I am just learning this stuff. So I apologize for the simple questions.

I apologize.. but what should I look for in the index. What would the item be that controls the color and size of the border lines between the sections of each page. They are white on this particular one.

See the attached photos

you need to put the forum's main table inside <div align="center"> (put that into the header.tmpl before the <table> tag. And then add </div> after </table> inside the footer.tmpl template. That should do the trick.

Your table tag appears to be missing > at the end of it.
