Okay I am getting desperate I willing to to do perhaps sometype of minor webdesign or some photoshop work if you help me.

**DRP** · 11:29 PM

what you will need to do is create a background image for your header that spreads accross the whole way, then nomatter what dimensions the browser window is, it willl look seamless...

hope this helps..

edit: you have already done that, lol, may bad, try setting the width to 100%

**davet** · 06-11-2007, 11:55 PM

The easiest way to do this is to open both in Microsoft Frontpage or WYSIWYG editor. It's a little tricky at first but practice makes perfect.

**vangogh** · 06-12-2007, 12:15 AM

John, I'm not sure if I'm following exactly. Are you trying to make the entire forum a little narrower so it matches the width of the rest of your site?

If so there's another table that contains the header table. If you set that table to 95% and put the width of the header table back to 100% then the whole forum will be the same size as the other pages on your site and the header will stretch across that width.

HTML Code:

<!-- END switch_enable_pm_popup -->
</head>
<body bgcolor="{T_BODY_BGCOLOR}" text="{T_BODY_TEXT}" link="{T_BODY_LINK}" vlink="{T_BODY_VLINK}">

<a name="top"></a>

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center"> 
    <tr> 
        <td class="bodyline"><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
            <tr>

I grabbed that code from your file. Change the first table to be 95% and I think it will be what you want.

HTML Code:

<!-- END switch_enable_pm_popup -->
</head>
<body bgcolor="{T_BODY_BGCOLOR}" text="{T_BODY_TEXT}" link="{T_BODY_LINK}" vlink="{T_BODY_VLINK}">

<a name="top"></a>

<table width="95%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" align="center"> 
    <tr> 
        <td class="bodyline"><table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
            <tr>

If that's not it could you describe a little more what you're trying to do and I'll take another look.
