    Changing background to image

    HI

    sorry to bother you all I hope someone can help me with a small problem, I've searched and tried what was suggested but it still hasn't worked.

    I would like to add an image to my forum background. I have uploaded it via FTP to images/misc

    In the Body standard css box for background I added url(images/misc/titleoffile.gif) but all this did was change the body white and not the image I want to use.

    Any help, where am I going wrong?

    TIA

    Depends on how your system is setup. The browser will load the image relative to the CSS not the page. If you have the CSS stored as a file, then use the entire URL to the image and not just a relative path.

    url(http://yourdomain.com/pathtoforum/images/misc/titleoffile.gif)

        url(/images/misc/etc etc
