hey,

i have a header that stretches across the whole top of the page...

the code for it (in the header template) is:


<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" background="images/header_bg.gif">
<tr valign="top">
<td valign="top" align="left" width="467" height="105"><img src="images/header_top_left.jpg" border="0" alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="bottom">
<td align="left" width="140" height="35"><a href="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><img src="images/header_bottom_left.gif" border="0" alt="$bbtitle"></a></td>
<td width="100%" height="35"><img src="images/space.gif" alt=""></td>
<td align="right" width="347" height="35"><img src="images/header_bottom_right.gif" alt="" border="0"></td>
</tr>
</table>

it looks fine on the forumhome, but when i go to a forum it doesnt stretch across the whole page..it just stops.

and if i refresh the page when it doesnt stretch actoss the whole page it fixes on that page.

ive been trying to fix this for a while, can anybody help?

thanks,
mikey.

It looks like you might have a spacer still in your show thread template. You removed it from your forumhome template, but I think it still remains in your showthread template.

Without a larger screenshot it's hard to tell, but that would be my guess. :)

Hmm when I went to your home page everything seems to work fine, unless this is for another forum..

and its not just showthread either, like if i go to a forum from forumhome it doesnt go all the way, and then if i hit back to go back to forumhome the header kepps the space and then when i hit refresh it goes back to normal.

Are there any spacers around the header variable in forumhome then?
