Try this one. Seems the page.tpl.php is aware of $node, but only when it's viewing a single node page. So the stuff I put in will only take the sidebars off when it is a single forum node. Haven't tried it, but give it a whirl and see.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">you can't add it to your page.tpl file because it isn't
aware of $node. if you are using pathauto and making all forum topics
have a specific prefix, you could filter on that prefix, but that would
be in the block visibility still. If you want to do it in the page.tpl
file, you could do something like this:<br>
<br>
$thenode = node_load(arg(1));<br>
if($thenode->type != 'forum'){<br>
//print sidebar<br>
}<br>
<br>
but that is going to cause an extra node to load on the server. not a
big deal on small sites, but if it gets big, you're going to want to do
it another way.<br>

for the help Brett. Here's what i tried adding to my page.tpl.php and
page-front.tpl.php (the bolded area) but it doesn't seem to be working:<br>
<br>
<div id="secondary"><br>
<?php if ($sidebar_left_featured) { print "<div

could put some logic in your template file to check if the current page
is the forum, or you could put logic in the blocks to not show on forum
pages. Should be something like<br>
if($node->type == 'forum') return false;<br>

<div>I'm using the drupal efficient theme located here: <a href="http://themesnap.com" target="_blank">themesnap.com</a>
and whenever i try to go to my forums page, it crams it in the far left
column but leaves the two right sidebars on. Is there a way to remove
the sidebars from this particular view only so that the forums display
correctly? You can see what I mean here: <a href="http://shockedoctopus.com/phpbbforum/" target="_blank">http://shockedoctopus.com/phpbbforum/</a><br>
