OKay, problems:

1) What are considered the ideal banner dimensions? This above was like 1600 X 740 I think.

2) More importantly, I'm having to make a second post for these queries because it seems I can't scroll below the image once I post it. That obviously defeats the whole purpose of it being a banner. How do I resolve that??

It's not THAT big a deal if I can't figure out how to do banners here, I just think they look nice when other people use them.

Seems it filled out the post from left to right nicely even with that size.

From my experience; I made mine 1920x400 (figured I'd do an "HD resolution", if that matters, with the height being arbitrary), but then when I post them I let the site resize it to 1000x*** in the "Insert/Edit Image" popup, because that size seems to suit the width of a post in the forum after I submit. I'm actually not really sure what the actual width should ideally be, or that it matters at all because I think the site does automatically resize things that are too big (read; too wide). But one of the admins can correct me on that. I don't have your second problem because of the small height of my banners, but I assume, like with a wall of text, that you should still be able to scroll down regardless. If that doesn't work though for some reason, maybe using the arrow keys on your keyboard does?

With the web developer tools you can see how it is resized. It is resized to fit the width of the posting area if it is bigger. The width may depend on viewing setup, for me the image is resized to 972×449.55
