First go to  qa-styles.css & seach for

 @media (min-width: 980px) .qa-sidepanel 

then increase the width as much you want, for example, you want to increase it by 2% then change the width value to 27% 

then go to @media (min-width: 980px) .qa-main  

and less the amount you added to the above class, like here we added 2% so we will less 2% from width so now width will become 72.5% and save that file. That's it you are done!

Somehow when I do what you suggest, breaking sidebar, sidebar shows all the way to bottom where main body ends

Also breaking alignment of question title (title goes below the voting block)

then you can lessen the with of @media (min-width:980px) .qa-main to 71px or 70px
try it!

Somehow it is still same problem... Thanks for trying though...

Is it possible to extend this theme and use my customized version? I mean the php file, not styling
