How do I switch the sidebar to the other side.

I want to do what was listed on the Custom CSS [advanced] post.

example: http://www.monkeystealsthepeaches.com (move the sidebar to the right)

--------------------------------

I was trying to use firebug but I'm just lost. I managed to locate the sidebar alignment area but my attempts to change it only overlayed the sidebar on the forum section. I was trying to find the area to alter the main forum alignment but I'm not having any luck.

Can someone help?

 I found my answer in the forum admin panel questions.

ok on the juiced theme- there is a white "start topic" thing in the right of the header- is there a way to remove it or change its color to black so that i can't see it??

to make the start topic black:
#start_conversation a {color:black;}

Hi. :)  I'm testing out a new layout for our forum (http://freedomtowrite.lefora.com) on my test forum (http://chachu.lefora.com/forum/).  It looks fantastic in Firefox, but the opacity settings for the divs are not working for IE.  I googled around a bit and found that sometimes IE requires you to define the divs' width and height.  I put width:100%; height:100% in all of them, but they are still 100% opacity in IE.  I assume this is a problem with IE and not Lefora, but could someone confirm that for me and/or give me advice on how to get it to work? 

Thanks!

The site looks great in FF and Safari, are you testing IE6 or IE7?

I had this same desire, to get rid of that thing that says START TOPIC in the upper right hand corner. This solution didn't work for me though. I can change the color like it says above but I can't get rid of it.
It's annoying and kind of redundant.

Sorry there is a typo should be {display:none;}  I accidently typed in  ";" when it was supposed to be a ":"   Always pays to check syntax.

Hi there.  :)  I'm having some trouble with browsing topics on my forum ( http://freedomtowrite.lefora.com/forum/category/all/page1/ ).  I notice that some links to topics with new replies are blue, and even if I enter the CSS to make them not-blue, they still are.  Is there something I'm doing wrong?  Somehow the old code is still overriding the new CSS that I'm putting in. 
Thanks!

Blue means they have new replies to a thread you participated in. it's a notification to you and your members.

Oh, I know, I was just wondering if I could make that blue into a different colour since it's, well, ugly.  :)  Thanks for the quick response.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add the buttons to view "All topics from all categories" and "newest posts across all categories" as in this forum, but in any of the other "themes?":
http://www.monkeystealsthepeaches.com/forum/
I would also like to make the side bar horizontal and on top or on the bottom...
Many thanks and sorry if this is a redundant post!

HI, you can add links to those views on your sidebar.  Just click on it, to learn the link for your forum, then using the 'Links' widget in your admin panel, you can link to those pages.

You can't change the position of the sidebar at this time, but that's something we'll have options around in the future.

hi !!
I'm trying to change my forum theme with firebug, but I am not so good
I would like to change the background of the ViewMark and the colour of the font.
For the background I think I should type this in the CSS :

                         viewmark {background-color:#FF6699;}

But how can I change the font colour of the viewmark ?
Thanks in advance.........

within the curly brackets you also need to add color:#FFFFFF; or similar
