    Background?

    Is it possible to have a picture as your forum background (like where the purple is on this forums main index) instead of a color?

    Go to theAdmin CP --> Styles --> Modify --> [fonts/colors/etc] and beside Category Strip Background Color put something like: " background="images/on.gif

    If you do the second option, make sure the quotation mark is placed where it is now.

      I put #095EA3 " background="images/back.jpg" in the Category Strip Background Color, and it did not work.

        You need to change it there, and in the <BODY> tag option.

          #095EA3 " background="images/off.gif

            How big should it be? I'm not quite sure if I make it 10x10 and it repeats all over it, or what. Also, what about this <body> tag?

              Ah, never noticed you were talking about the category strip bg color. Nevermind about the <BODY> thing.

                  I read your post, I just don't know how big I am supposed to make the image I want as a background.

                    if you want it as the backround to the whole bulletin board...you need to edit this line inserting background="{imagesfolder}/yourbg.gif"

                    after the body bit ok and yes for a repeating bg use a 10x10 or even a 5x5 image if you can fit your design on it

                      Under modify styles I put it in the Body Tag line, didn't work, put it in the cat. strip color and body tag line at once and it didn't work, tried just the cat. tag and it didn't work.

                        I think this is how you do it.

                        Go to your headinclude template.

                        find < style type="text/css" >

                        where it says BODY {

                        add the following:

                        background: #000000 url('http://yourdomain/path to images/name of image') no-repeat;

                        #000000 is the hex value for black so change that to what ever colour you want.

                        no-repeat means it won't tile the image.

                        you can also add fixed before the ; if you want the image to stay in one place.
