    The problem is that the second part of the coding isn't there. In Bran's post in Arachne's Web (click here), there are two graphics that you need (the masthead and the repeater graphic) as well as the two bits of coding.

    The first bit of coding is the masthead which is this:

    #Masthead img {visibility: hidden !important;}
    #Masthead {position: absolute !important; z-index: 1 !important;top:-8 !important; left:0 !important; width: 800px !important; height: 120px !important; background-image: url('#MASTHEAD#') !important;}

    The above tells the AW server to replace the default masthead with the one that you specify as the background image.

    The second bit of coding relates to the repeater that keeps going after the masthead graphic has finished. As some screens are wider than the usual 800px that the default AW masthead is, Jot has programmed a 1px wide repeater graphic. This graphic is set to repeat over and over. To override the AW default, you need this coding:

    body.community {background-image: url('#MASTHEADBG#') !important;}

    Like the masthead, replace the #MASTHEADBG# with the url of the graphic that you want in there. With the masthead repeater, Bran has said that it needs to be 1 px wide by 112px. I've found that you can have the repeater set to any size you want. I've experimented with different sizes and the result still comes out ok.

    If you don't include the body.community part of the coding in your style sheet, the server will only display your masthead and put the default AW repeater behind it which is what everyone has experienced already.

    I hope this helps.
