Banner at top of pages, what size is maximum. I'd like it to go from one side of page to the other, and fill the top of the page, rather than just have text, but what size should it be designed/saved as to make it fit, or is there a maximum width allowed ?
Has anyone else got a banner/logo on their page I can take a look at ?

Bump. Cant find where this has been answered. No matter what size I do (Pixels) the banner does not reach the right side.....Looks terrible.

The best thing to do is to design your banner as big as possible. Next, put this code in your headers:
<img src="IMAGE URL" width="X%" height="X%">
Modify the X with numbers #1-100 until your picture fits nicely

Everyone's screen resolutions are different. So what may stretch across the whole screen for YOU may not for someone with a smaller or bigger monitor. And it's set so that whatever image you put in, there will be a 10 pixel difference between the image and the side. What you can do is go into the CSS of your forum and set a forum width, which will make your forum the same width for EVERY monitor. And then make a banner that is a few pixels smaller than that value.
I'm trying to figure out how to do that with the CSS for the forums... I've never been great with CSS. lol. If I find more information on HOW to do this, I will share but that is what I suggest for you to to. I wouldn't make a banner "as big as possible" as that might be obnoxious on smaller screen resolutions.

@Seldom
There's an option to set the forum width here without having to do any CSS work:

Also, wouldn't using percentages to resize the image adjust the image size that would fit everyone's screens?

They would have to go into the CSS anyway to figure out how to remove the 10 pixels that are there on the right (the reason their image won't go all the way across) so doing percentages would only make it fit to that percentage of their screen... plus 10 pixels.
