Frameset, I'd say....

what do u mean frameset?

[Hellcat]

On a webpage you can split up the display into several frames.
Each frame holds a different page.

So you could define a page with two frames, one for the header, one for the content.
If the content frames changes the shown page, the other frame(s) or not affectected and remain as they are.

Take a look at this:

hellcat can u code me an example so i can get idea of what u mean.

where would i put the code in the templates so the header doesnt keep loading?

The link I posted above holds a quite good example :)

i understand the code but i wanna know where would i put it on the forum? what template? what php file?

[Hellcat]

Neither.
Put the frameset definition in a seperate index.html or such.
Let the upper frame point to something like "header.html" and the main frame to the forum's index.php.

If you want a simple way I guess I would put it on a page, make an iframe with a transparent background and put it in that.

though obviously this is a dumb way to do it it would work i think...
