open skin.ss and add this at the bottom:
.DNNEmptyPane {
width:0px;
}
That's not going to work. For some reason the skin has a couple of gifs at the bottom of the left and right panes fixing the widths to 150px.
Eileen, if you've managed to find which file is the skin you're using - it will probably be in portals/_default/skins/DNNgray(or something)/name of skin.ascx - there are several skins there but it looks like you're using the fixed-width gray one. Open the file in a text editor, look for the following tag in two places and delete it:
(img width="150" height="1" src="spacer.gif"/)
Note that it will have angle brackets either side, not rounded brackets(had to use the latter so that the code will be visible here in the forum)
Note also that you should not click the Parse Skin link in the skins page for this skin as that will overwrite your changes and you would have to do it again. If you want to avoid this then you shuold instead make the change to the skin-name.htm file and click the parse button. This will regenerate a new skin-name.ascx file with the change permanently in it.
All of this is well beyond the content management aspect of using a DNN portal and if you're going to persue it then be prepared for a major learning curve. There's really nothing simple about it... until you know it all... and even then you have to wear a helmet.
