[edit]After trials and errors for 1/2 hour, I found something that will not work if you want your skin to be fluid. see the code below:

PHP Code:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<center>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/headbg.gif)">
<tr>

<td align="left" valign="top"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_left.gif"  border="0" alt=""/></a></td>
<td align="right" valign="bottom"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/head_right.gif" alt="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>

<!-- /logo -->
<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output 


The original value in the highlighted is "100%" which will go to fit your skin which is wrong . I replaced it with $stylevar[outertablewidth] for it to be dependent on the outer table width size on StyleVars

This worked an absolute treat!

Thanks everyone. :up:
