Title tells the tale of my woes! You can check out our site here (http://www.exodus-ls.org).

I read a tutorial on vb's site...and am quite possibly now, more confused than before. I may have even posted here, but I still have had no luck ><;. I didn't make the banner, but I have tried a few things that haven't worked at all for me.

A fixed banner will not resize. You will need to have a fluid banner in order for it to resize.

You have several issues besides the banner. I see several red "x"s when I browse your posts. If you check your error report from your host control pannel you will see them also. These are caused by the images not being there, or the path to the images is not correct.

Here is an example.

This is the path to old_post.gif. Notice extra /

Another thing I noticed....I do not see a link for a new user to get to the forums from your homepage. Does this show up for registered members?

Wow man, thanks a ton...I would have never know about all of that if you wouldn't have mentioned it!

The missing images are due to the fact that we recently added our 1st custom skin hehe.

How complex is it to make a banner fluid?

Your image may be there....but the path to find it is wrong.

Fluid banner...you have to figure out where you are going to slice your banner up. Once you have it sliced you need a small piece of fill that will expand/shrink(depends on display sizes). You can do it on both sides if you want. Then you have to change your header template code for the banner for the parts to the banner. For the size of the fill piece, you will want that to be 100%. This will allow it to do what you are looking for.

What is hard is slicing up an image and getting the new banner to look good as a fluid banner. This is why I did not make the pioneer skin fluid. I could not find a good way to slice it to make it look good.
