Is this possible?

I was wondering if there is a way to stop a phpnuke site from "stretching." The banner on my site doesnt quite work with the theme I use because the site stretches. Is there a way to "lock" the width at a certain number of pixels?

Do you mean, by using a fixed width theme? Just set the main table to a fixed width in your theme.

I'll see what I can do when I get home, as I'm at work right now.

The basic idea of what I am trying to accomplish is this: in a site running nuke, as you stretch out the window you strech out the site. The blocks on the left and right stay on the left and right sides, while the center blocks stretch out. What I am tryint to do is lock the width so that the site will not stretch.

So that if someone was viewing the site in, say, 800x600 resolution, the blocks would fit nicely on each side of the window, and if someone was viewing at a higher resolution, the blocks would not be on each side, all the user would see on the edges of the window, the background, and closer to the center would be the left and right blocks.

Well since I'm still learning how to do all this, what could I put in and in what file?

Jaded is the theme expert but you would need to edit themes/theme.php and / or themes/tables.php usually.
As to what to actually edit, that is very much theme dependant.

By the way, it is perfectly acceptable to <bump> after a 2-3 days have elapsed. These forums are very busy and threads "roll off" rather quickly, and we all can get busy and miss things.
