I have seen a board where the background is an imported image. How can I do this? |

Simple. Just upload an image. I use this to upload my background.
http://www.pix8.net/upload.php
Then go to the system place where you can change the colors, fonts, etc. It should say background image. Copy the url and place it there. It takes a while before you see your new back ground. |

But remember, you have to have a website to be able to link it from, or i suppose have it in your gallery |

pix8 is for webhosting. Me and my friends just use it to show pictures to one another. |

One thing to keep in mind. The BG image will tile. So if you have a relativly big image, it will repeat itself.
And your better off using the image gallery provided by the board. Sometimes those image hostig sites, or web space sites, will only allow a certain amount of bandwidth. when that run out, you'll get the dreaded little red x. |

Really? That has never happen. AngelFire stopped image hosting. Hehe. People still have failed to realize it. I see it at their sites. Its really bad when it comes animations. |

^Yes it does happen.
I really recommend using the image gallery since it is mostly local. |

If you don't want to background to tile, add this to your header insert.
code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {background-repeat:no-repeat;}
-->
</style>

Huh? Just add this? Explain it more please. |

Just add it if you don't want the main background to tile. |

Oh...OKay |

Thanks for all the info. I have managed to stop it tiling with the above code but the photo wont cover the whole page to the bottom. Is there anyway I can force it to repeat so the bottom of the page is not plain white?

the bottom of the page isnt plain white to me.. |

I took the photo off as it didn't look right Dave, and reverted to the coloured background. It looked great with th photo as a background but when scrolling down to the bottom it was just plain white. Thanks for looking anyway. |

The only way I can think of to fix that is a script that fixes the background but scrolls the forums themselves. I dont have it handy but I'm sure if you search for it you'll find it. |

Thanks TK. I will have a look for it cos I wont be satisfied till I get it right. |

TK, sorry to trouble you but if you have a spare few minutes could you locate the script that you mentioned, I have searched but cant find it anywhere. Would be so grateful. |

Thats exactly what I was talking about. Still looking for it, so if you find it first post here. |

That one's easy.
code:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {background-attachment:fixed;}
-->
</style>

Thanks sdn. I knew it was an easy one, but I couldn't find it :( |

Thanks TK and sdn, our board looks great now. One last question and I will promise to shut up.
Can this code and the one to stop image tiling both be placed in the "header insert" or does one have to go in the "header"?
Must get into this HTML :( |
|
|
| TK-7771 |
I'd have to say "Header insert". But I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong :P |
