Here's the thing -- the scalability of the header on these forums requires a repeating segment of the image. Not stretching it.

So in the background, a repeated image (like Mark's sample), and then on top of that, the images that make it *appear* to be one image.

There is no part of your image that will serve as a repeating element.

You mght want to make the image as wide as you think most people will view (or wider) and fade it out to the background colour, then don't have it repeat at all. Let people with smaller resolutions only see as much as shows.

I sort of liked 1024% - I just figured that the image would extend from my computer to the computer next to mine, and then the next one, and the next one... .

I suppose that depending on how the browser's rendering engine interprets this, the image may or may not be scaled off the screen.

From the HTML spec:

Quote: Note that lengths expressed as percentages are based on the horizontal or vertical space currently available, not on the natural size of the image, object, or applet.

Since the percent scaling you are requesting with 1024% is clearly beyond the currently available area, would it be wrong for a browser to scale the image so that you only saw 10% of the resultant image?

probably just a typo but make sure the percentage isn't at the end of the 1024 width

We have no problem with your providing a link to your forum. A couple of things to consider. One is that the image is too big. It should only be about 760px max. But that is not what you asked. You might also rethink what you are trying to do. The only way that you could have the image stretch to fit the screen is to tile it using stylesheets. Of course, the image would repeat so that this would look kind of odd. What I would do is first, instead of making the picture a background image, just use the inside of a tag. Then change the background cell color so that the end (white space) is not so noticable. You could also use some css like this:

<?php
td.back {
        background-color: #;
        background-image: url(images/forumheader.jpg.gif);
?>

Then in you tag, &nbsp
