These instructions are with table(s) added into the empty column you see after using the instruction provided by Floris & Jake Bunce tutorials in Quick Tips forum @ vBulletin.com. I have little changes, but in whole it is the same. This is for displaying under navbar menu. If you are using a portal, you can add modules within forum and those instruction are posted within other sites forums.
  1. Left Column Table

    Code:
    $spacer_close
    <!-- /content area table -->
    <!-- leftside column -->

    • Message Area Width (pixels): [440px]
      (This value allows you to specify the width in pixels of the text box used for all message posting in vBulletin)
    • Code Block Width (pixels): [440px]
      (This value controls the width of [code], [php] and [html] bbcode blocks. You may set this value to 'auto', but if you do, Internet Explorer will stretch the width of the block rather than inserting a scrollbar.)

    You also need to use postbit instead of postbit_legacy to utilize the most of message space.
