oke so what my forum does ,is it adjust to resolutions sizes ,but i made it so it fits the largest size 1280x1024,well the tables adjust to the resolution size, i don't want that ever to happen,i want them to stay put on everyresolution,just like the invisionboards,

What brand of Forum are you using? You want it to be fixed width? What Browser are you using? Have you checked it in other Browsers?Need more info here.

I see the problem it looks funny when the actual tables of the forum are adjusting when you drag the browser window smaller. it seems to be set at like 100% width or something. I think what your looking for is a way to assign it a fix minimal width?

In the .CSS file for the forum type the following:

table { width:1000px; )

That should work. What the code will do is adjust any tables on the page to a width of said pixels.

If you can't edit the CSS directly but can add code into the page, try the following:
<style type="text/css">table {		  width:1000px;}</style>

And just as a side note, the average user's resolution is 1024x768 so it is advised that we program for users of that resolution so that the average computer can view the page. Also, your header image is really big, if you sliced it, it would load a lot faster for non-broadband users.
