Freddie,

Pictures will not change size when you use them as a background. You could use absolute positioning in your CSS to put the picture behind the text (see this helpful tutorial - http://www.barelyfitz.com/screencast/html-training/css/positioning/) and resize the picture while using it in the img attribute, but my suggestion would be to resize the image in the image editor of your choice to the specific width that you want since it looks like your site doesn't grow in width. Resizing an image with the browser isn't a very good way to do things anyway. You should always serve up the image the size you want it rendered.

Rick - Thanks for making sense of that quote issue, that one had me a bit confused. I was actually wondering why it was working with the space in the name, but that makes perfect sense.

I did what you suggested and it works now.
First I resized the picture to a width of 1000px. Then I realised that my skin package Flex2 claims 100px for the module so I had to go down to 900px.
Now it's okay.

Thank you & thanks to Rick!

Regards,
Freddie
