Hi, I don't like how squished the forum is on my website with the sidebar so I made a custom wordpress page template and removed the get_sidebar function. The sidebar is gone but the forum still is the same size. How can I make it so the forum stretches and fills the area where the sidebar used to be? Here is my forum:

Thanks in advance!!

Your forum is being bound by the rule of the #content div which is set to 530px not 940px.
My guess is if you change that width inb the CSS then you will then upset the rest of the site. I wuld suggest copying #content to a new id – like #forumcontent, giving that a width of 940px and then change the div name on the forum page template to match
