many thanks..
html via dreamweaver is fine for me , coding is not within my grasp as yet

so i remain stuck..
this crossed my mind though..
Vbulletin is also new to me by the way so i need a basic guide
i thought i could at least create a seperate footer that would half way sort the graphical problem at the bottom of the page, i.e. create one single image centered so that it gave the impression of being whole , i would still lose the red bars over a part of the page..
but i wasnt sure of the steps to create a new template called footer2 and have the ADV_GALLERY_SHOWIMAGE call $footer2 rather than $footer
whats the likelyhood of getting someone to look at this..
I did opt for the paid install because of the different type of display , i did feel a little let down as i expected this type of thing to be looked at.
although i thank support for installing which went well they did however leave me to sort out path issues for other images and havnt answered ticket questions as yet.
many thanks for your help.
Kind Regards
Carl
