I used to do exactly what ZarPrime suggested with our Gallery board :up:  I used another instance of the same theme set wider.. It's just a pain when you want to change themes or make alterations. I was using the theme for several articles and a long time after I changed the main site theme I'd find pages with the gallery theme.

You also need to consider that going to the wider "Forum" theme will have to load all the images again, because it is two different themes, making the process slower.

Here's two versions of Invazion that I used as our site theme for a while:
Normal: http://www.slayingsteel.com/index.php?theme=30

Gallery: http://www.slayingsteel.com/index.php?theme=32
The Gallery theme uses a different header and is a fluid width, 96% I think.

Ignore the fact that the content doesn't fit properly, we don't use this theme at the mo.

LOL!   You're a genius.  Thank you ZP & Bin for your responses.  I never thought of that even tho i knew about this option but never cared to use it.   Wow,i can have 2 logos.  lol.........

I copied my entire index.template to my new renamed theme and thats it.

Off i go to create a new banner.   Woot!

Bluedevil,

Thanks for that, and @RG98 and @ Ichbin, thank you guys as well, but I've certainly never thought of myself in that way (a genius huh, you guys are going to make me blush ).  TinyPortal makes a lot of stuff possible that you wouldn't normally think of, and as you can see, Zetan had this idea and used it long before I did.  Good job Zetan.

Bluedevil, I've had a look at your site and it looks great like that so far.  If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you would consider posting a new topic at some point after you're done making your edits, and document exactly what you did to make this work (with a more descriptive subject that would show up good in a search).  This might be a topic that would help a lot of people out there that are looking to do the same thing you did.  You could describe in a little bit of detail what you did with editing a second instance of the theme and how it can be used to have a second banner, etc.  I feel this might be a good thing to have on here somewhere as a reference and after you've made it, we can decide where best to place it. :up:

Glad it worked for you.  Keep up the good work and let us know when you've finished your edits so that we can see the site.

Thanx....

No problem,ill write something soon with complete details. :coolsmiley:

Zar, It's great that you came to the same conclusion, :up: It doesn't matter who thought of it first, I just did what I needed to do at the time. I think there could be a way to do the same thing without using two different themes and two different sets of images.. It's what worked for me at the time
