Hi Matt,
I am pretty new to Moodle myself, so could be wrong about this, but I am pretty sure you can achieve this by editing the 'styles_layout.css' style sheet for your chosen theme. Im a hands on learner so I'd dive right in and start playing with...
.forumpost .content {
padding: 4px;
}
...adding maybe...
.forumpost .content {
padding: 4px;
width:100%;
}
...and seeing what happens.
Here is a graphic which I have found most useful for understanding Moodle's CSS...

Like I said...could be wrong.

The best way to experiment with themes is to use either:
- Web developer extension for Firefox (use the Edit CSS option)
- The Interactive Chameleon Theme
Getting back to your original question: do you mean you want the forums to take up the entire horizontal width? Most themes do that by default so are you building upon a particular theme?
As for refreshing themes, the very worst you should have to do is visit the .css file directly and force refresh it (shift-F5) until you see the actual changes in the file text. Again the web developer extension lets you switch of the cache so you should see changes instantly anyway if you use that.

No problem. I was going to mention the 'View style information' feature of the FireFox Web developer extension. Lets you hover over an element to see its HTML/CSS heirarchy in the status bar and click it to see list of CSS that applies (even duplicate css in seperate sheets). Absolutely invaluable to me for making sense of things.
