    Question iframe cut inner margins

    i have url of a php forum that i wanna put in a iframe... but it has some publicity on the bottom and it has some blanc space on the upper side... i wanna cut it out.

    here goes the url: http://instastrikers.activeboard.com/

    i wanted a code of iframe of script that could cut that part out of the iframe and letting me change the iframe url as long as i want and for it to keep that defenitions of no blanc space and no publicity.

    thx for reading.

    1) Do you own the forum?
    2) Do you have control over it's theme?
    3) What's your reason for wanting to put it into an iframe?

    There is no solution for what you want to do (clip content in an iframe). Well, no professional/practical solution. But I suspect there are other ways of achieving the same overall look for your site. Your answers to the above questions will help me determine that.

    hmmm...yeah, i noticed it was a hosted service after I had already posted.

    Unfortunately, I don't think theres much you can do in this situation.

    If you had control over the forum's files, I would suggest adjusting the templates, but of course, you don't.

    Perhaps using another forum service? If you have a non-free host website that you have ftp control over, you might want to look into the tons of open source forums out there.

    You don't have to use phpBB. There are others out there -- smf, bbpress, vanilla, the list goes on...

    But if you need help with templating phpBB, I'd be happy to help. I don't use phpBB anymore but I've themed both phpBB 2.x and 3.x enough times to walk you through it if you need.
