Kitty,

The "KittyForums.net - KittyWireless.com Authorized Page Plus Dealer" logo at the top of the forum is too wide. Before logging in (both FF & IE8) the login fields are covering "Plus Dealer"

After logging in, in both FF & IE8 the logo is transparent, but interferes with "Welcome username" and "Notifications".

I'll fix it today .. you must be running a lower resolution than I am, I forgot about that.

Better.

Your logo image is fixed-width and the forum is percentage-width. That means the logo will display differently dependent on the screen resolution. I had that issue on my forum and ended-up changing the forum to fixed-width.

I don't know the difference yet between the two widths, I know how they work, but not sure how to change them. I'll research it :) Glad it looks better.

An afterthought:

If you can modify the CSS or page code, you could insert the logo (site name) as text rather than an image. Then, it will render properly regardless of screen resolution.

I have no idea how to modify CSS or the page code, I just modified the .PNG file and uploaded it. :-/

CSS file are basically text files. In fact, I don't see your Kitty wireless logo up at the top.

Here is how I usually edit css files
Download the css file to your computer.
Find the css file on your computer.
Copy the css file to another location for backup purposes.
Right click & choose open with
Open with notepad.
Study the file, then see where can add "Kitty Wireless"
Then upload your file.

I have no idea if it will work with Vbulletin

I tried modifying the kittyforums page code but because the forum is set to percentage-width, the text still changes size. There may be another way, but as I discovered on my forum, the best way was to set the forum to fixed-width. Then an image or text will retain the same proportions.
