Forum:Changing width of mainpage-rightcolumn

Hello, sorry to bug you all the time! Trying to learn :)

I'm trying to redesign my wiki's homepage, and I'd like to know how to change the width of the right column. It's apparently fixed at 300px, but I want to make it narrower.

Any advice would be much appreciated! -- Miraene (talk) 21:17, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

The prescribed width is designed to cater for so called "impression advertising"
If you search the forum archives for "New Monaco" (or maybe "NewMonaco") then you ought to find the full detail. Sufficient to say that the prescribed width is required so that the advertisements which generate Wikia's only source of revenue can be displayed in that column.

If you use CSS to compromise the visibility of advertisements for just your personal browsing of wikia then all is fine but if you do so and make that the format that all visitors see at some specific wiki then you are violating the terms of use that you agreed to when you created your user account here at Wikia.

Good luck. -- najevi 01:05, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
