Banner at top of pages, what size is maximum

Banner at top of pages, what size is maximum. I'd like it to go
from one side of page to the other, and fill the top of the
page, rather than just have text, but what size should it be
designed/saved as to make it fit, or is there a maximum width
allowed ?
Has anyone else got a banner/logo on their page I can take a
look at ?

Bump. Cant find where this has been answered. No matter what
size I do (Pixels) the banner does not reach the right
side.....Looks terrible.

The best thing to do is to design your banner as big as
possible. Next, put this code in your headers:
--- Code ---
<img src="IMAGE URL" width="X%" height="X%">
--- End Code ---
Modify the X with numbers #1-100 until your picture fits nicely

Everyone's screen resolutions are different. So what may stretch
across the whole screen for YOU may not for someone with a
smaller or bigger monitor. And it's set so that whatever image
you put in, there will be a 10 pixel difference between the
image and the side. What you can do is go into the CSS of your
forum and set a forum width, which will make your forum the same
width for EVERY monitor. And then make a banner that is a few
pixels smaller than that value.
I'm trying to figure out how to do that with the CSS for the
forums... I've never been great with CSS. lol. If I find more
information on HOW to do this, I will share but that is what I
suggest for you to to. I wouldn't make a banner "as big as
possible" as that might be obnoxious on smaller screen
resolutions.

@Seldom
There's an option to set the forum width here without having to
do any CSS work:
HTML http://FORUM.createaforum.com/index.php?action=admin;area=theme;sa=list;
Also, wouldn't using percentages to resize the image adjust the
image size that would fit everyone's screens?

They would have to go into the CSS anyway to figure out how to
remove the 10 pixels that are there on the right (the reason
their image won't go all the way across) so doing percentages
would only make it fit to that percentage of their screen...
plus 10 pixels.
