How do I sort out its width?

BTW I added the left column through a php include, I sorted out the width of footer at the bottom by closing the table of left column at the start of footer template.

Regards

PS. This is a new skin I am making specifically for a forum where articles would be pasted which explains its whitish look.

Typically I would say there is a long URL breaking the width. But in your case, it's most likely due to an HTML error as you point out fixed the footer. Hard to say what it is without code.

php include is for php as the name implies. Global HTML should be handled in the header and footer.

Well here is what I did

Well the left column is an include and I edited the header and footer templates to add it. I added this bit at the bottom of the header template
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">$inclu_left</td>
<td valign="top" width="610">
and to close it I added this in the footer template.
</td></tr></table>
and also to recall the include I included this in the phpinclude_start template
include('/home/pakpass/public_html/00_include_left.php');
$inclu_left = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Finally, can't tell but are their any images included in the posts?
Nope no images its just plain text.

I hope I am clear enough in my reply I have tried my best to explain what I did. BTW forum home template seemed to be fine after I edited the code in header template from
<td valign="top" width="100%">
to
<td valign="top" width="610">

Forum home looks like this

Thanks and Regards

Use the stylevar width variables to fix your table. You table has no width controls.

Nope the problem was due to spacer_open and close, I fixed it myself :D

Yep, putting table for side bars in the wrong place will do that. Glad it worked out.
