In html.inc.php change the 2 instances of

$right_width="15%";

to

$right_width="300";

libs/html.inc.php

you could also have modified the templates _instead_ to ignore those widths and hardwire the value you want

templates/default/left_column.tpl
templates/default/right_column.tpl

2c

Linky Poo to a blog article i wrote that touches on these files..

This is what I did but it never change the column width. Did I miss something?

{* Script Version 7.1 *}


{if $config.$side_column == 1}
</td>
<td width="300" valign="top" class="right_col">
{$island_data}
{/if}
