I don't think 70% would look right. That would size ALL your tables to 70%.
You might mean you want the overall width at 70%, in that case make the table that holds your forum (the last one opened in your header and the first one closed in your footer) 70% wide. An align="center" would look nice as well on most screen resolutions.
