Where can I edit a Discussion page?

I'm trying to remove some things from discussion/topic view, but I can't figure out which template to edit. Is this located in applications/dashboard/views somewhere..?

    The files you're looking for can be found in applications/vanilla/views/discussions.

    Hrm, actually I still can't find it.. ><

    Allow me to explain exactly what I'm trying to achieve..

    Goal: I want to increase the width of the content area for single topics only. Mind you, I'm not talking about the forum.com/discussions list, but actual topics you can reply to.

    Problem: The width is controlled by a CSS class called 'content'. Editing this class is easy enough, BUT, that will also change the width of every other page on the forum.

    So solve this, I created a clone of that class named 'content2' just for discussion/topic pages, but I just can't figure out which template to apply it to..

    I use sidepanels for the main page, but I've disabled them for single discussions so I can make the post area larger instead.

    Sorry if I'm being unclear, I'm terrible at explaining things. :p

    Just use the classes applied to the body element to do page specific styling - that's ten times easier.

    Hum, could you elaborate a bit more? Maybe I should mention that I'm pretty clueless :D

    try reading the theme documentation and run through some tutorials on firebug or some other web tool

    also this.

    you probably want to modify the width of ul.Comments in Custom.css of your theme.

    ul.Comments {
    width: 700px;
}

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    You can declare a css rule for a specific type of page by prefixing a . and the page type name

    e.g.

    .discussion
.discussions
.messages

    etc.
