I am on the 14-day trial for the Pro version and I really like Discourse so far, with one really frustrating exception. The text width in topics seems far too narrow. For the subject of the forums, large text width is necessary. I am used to older phpBB forums where you get the full width of the web page.

I tried installing the ‘Fully Theme’, but as far as I can tell that is the same width as the built-in Horizon and Foundation themes. I am on an ultrawide too which makes it even worse. There is just a fairly narrow strip of text in the centre of the window.

Am I missing some override setting or some other configuration option?

Any advice appreciated, thanks.
