   Is it possible to fill the entire (white) area occupied by the logo and top ad space with a long horizontal logo splash instead? It would be a custom .png file that occupies that whole area above the main menu, and returns the user to the homepage when clicked.

   Thanks!

   Hey,
   excuse me for the delayed response - could you link me to your site? Maybe you did it the way it's supposed to be done :) Else I'll provide you with the correct solution.

   Hey Chris,

   I can't send you a link because I'm running the site on MAMP right now. It's all in my machine. This is what I added to custom.css

   /* LOGO SPLASH */
   #top .bg-logo, #top .bg-logo a{
   text-indent: -9999px;
   height:150px;
   width:600px;
   }

   I also made the new logo.png 110 px high and 940 px wide, but in the css I cropped it to 600px in case I ever needed to use the ad banner again. I made the ad banner size 0px x 0px so it's still there but it doesn't show up.

   Because the splash I did is white, you cant see if it was too small top and bottom, but I'd probably be able to fix that just adjusting the size of the logo container in that header area.

   Incidentally, what does that value for the text-indent of -9999px correspond to? It's very strange...

   Hey,
   it's hard to give you custom code without investigating the site first hand. We'll look into it when we can investigate the site with firebug (when you put the test site online). Otherwise it's just frustrating for both sides because it's a trial and error game...
