OKay, so i have everything working great and all but i was looking at this forum and how when you go to the Forums it doesn't list the menu's on the side where with mine it does, i was wondering if i can edit out my menu's on the side so the forum will still be wrapped but appear bigger is size and for the user to get back then would need to click on the header!!

modify your joomla template to hide the menu...
either do it for if com_smf is being used or do it (better choice) if no modules are "on" in that location.

ah... right... 

if you send me the template file, I can show you exactly where to edit...  each one is going to be slightly different.

It will end up being something like this:

Code:
        <!-- RIGHT Modules -->
        <?php if (mosCountModules('right')>0) { ?>
            <td width="132">
              <?php mosLoadModules ( "right" ); ?>
            </td>
            <?php } ?>

which file do i need to edit to remove that? If i edit my main template one won't that remove the menu's for the whole site? I just want to remove the menu's on the left side of the wrapped forum so i can increase the size of it.

Sean,

See the IF statement?  That controls whether the column displays or not, based on whether you have any modules present in the column for that menu item....

I'm still having issues with this subject.  You can check out the site at My Test Site  I can't figure out how to get the smf forum to stretch and extend the complete width of the site borders.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks for your time and assistance in advance. 

As of thus far I have created a template just for the Forum page, to show no menu items on either the left or right.  All that this did was move the forum to the left and left a space on the right.  So getting the forum block to extend completely across the span of the main body area is my problem.

I take it you resolved this problem?  It looks fine in both Firefox and IE.

Yeah actually I created a seperate template for the forum pages and deleted all of the content was in the mosmainbody surrounding tables.  Everything below the header and top module.  Don't know if this was the best way to do it. but...it works.

That's a really good solution to still be able to have your menu modules listed as "All" pages.

I believe I've seen something like that posted over at the SMF boards.  Though, it was more of the opposite, something along the lines of "if !com_smf" then load the left modules.  I can't remember the exact code to do that - it's checking the component that is loaded.
