phpBB theme header problem

Hi wondered if someone could help me.

I'm using phpBB3 and have installed a new theme - ive managed to change the stylesheet.css to have colouring that matches my mainsite, but am having a slight problem with the theme header.

Basically i'm trying to replicate our main site's header for the forum theme by using a png image of our website's header - but am running in to a slight problem because of the following code:

Code:

<div id="logodesc">
   <table width="100%" cellspacing="0">
   <tr>
      <td><a href="{U_INDEX}">{SITE_LOGO_IMG}</a></td>
      <td width="100%" align="center"><h1>{SITENAME}</h1><span class="gen">{SITE_DESCRIPTION}</span></td>
   </tr>
   </table>
</div>

The already preloaded left side logo is 498 x 78 in size but to the right of this is our site name and site description in text. The text is the thing i would like to get rid of and have my own image span the whole length of the header which is 940 x 78

Everetime i change the site logo (498x78) for the one i want which is 940 x 78 - the menu bar underneath is pushed down and doesnt align correctly.

Question is - i need to get rid of the following code from within the overall_header.html:

Code:

<td width="100%" align="center"><h1>{SITENAME}</h1><span class="gen">{SITE_DESCRIPTION}</span></td>

But how do i do this without knocking the header out of alignment? (i'm a complete noob when it comes to coding - so i'm unsure whether i need to replace the code, remove it altogether or add something extra to the forum theme stylesheet.css)

Here is the code that related to the header from within the theme's stylesheet.css:

Code:

/* Layout

* {
/* Reset browsers default margin, padding and font sizes */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

}

.forumrules {

padding: 4px;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 1.1em;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.forumrules h3 {
color: red;
}

#pageheader { }
#pagecontent { }
#pagefooter { }
#poll { }
#postrow { }
#postdata { }

/* Text

h1 {

Any help is greatly appreciated Smile
