Are you using a crap browser Internet Explorer?

I just viewed your site, using Opera, with six different resolutions and it looked perfect.

If you ARE using IE, try using Compatibilty mode.

My son and I both use Firefox

but if the header banners logos arnt all over lapping thats great

That is caused by the way SMF is by default using a % -width. To fix that completely, you would either have to use a % -width for the images as well, or set the forum to use a fixed width, which wouldn't be too nice either for users with different resolutions than yourself.

It is more or less a universal problem for any website. You have a page that is (of course) 100% wide when loaded, for example let's say 1280px. The real content in it is 95% wide, 1216px. In this space, you have 3 images side by side, that add up to that 1216px - but when you resize the window and SMF scales to this, the images stay as they were - as they do not scale on the fly - and this causes them to either move around so they fit in the window, or cross the limits of the window.

Am I making any sense? :P
