[support] how can I hide left&right column on forum-pages?

[Neil Coghlan]

there's an option on Path auto config page...something like "give these 
aliases to all nodes without alias" so it gives them to old content.

what I didn't understand in your initial question was that you seemed to 
want the entire left and right regions to not appear when viewing forum 
topics....disabling blocks in those regions, you'd still get the regions 
themselves appearing, so is that what you're after or not? The only way 
I can think of to get the regions themselves not being created, and thus 
allowing your design to stretch right across the screen, would be the 
second method I mentioned, altering your theme's page.tpl.php file and 
wrapping the code for left and right regions in conditional php based on 
the page URL.

something like

if URL != "/forum/..."
print $left_region

I have some similar stuff in my own page.tpl.php to print a region only 
in certain areas of the site and it works fine.
