Find the CSS for the body tag (It's in style.css by default). And then add this to the CSS for it:

Code Select


background-image: url("write4.jpg");

You may or may not need the quotes, I never remember.

i done this but not work with quote and without quote.

OK. Apparantly it doesn't need the quotes anyway. What about doing a full path to the image. Or like .\write4.jpg, or \write4.jpg. I'm not very good at CSS but I can't see why it wouldn't work. The only thing is that the path you gave will be expecting the image to be found in the same directory as your forum root and NOT the themes sub directory. Stick write4.jpg in your forum root directory and it may work...

Well - looking at the source for one thing you have TWO body tags next to each other. One with a colour and one with an image. As for the problems of it backgrounding onto the table... maybe those cells are set with transparent backgrounds?

You have this somewhere in your css file:

Code Select

/* By default (td, body..) use Tahoma in black. */
body, td
{
	background-image: url(/yabbse/Themes/default/images/write4.jpg); 
	color: #000000;
	font-size: small;
	font-family: Tahoma, arial, helvetica, serif;
}

body
{
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
}

change to this:

Code Select

/* By default (td, body..) use Tahoma in black. */
body, td
{
	color: #000000;
	font-size: small;
	font-family: Tahoma, arial, helvetica, serif;
}

body
{
	background-image: url(/yabbse/Themes/default/images/write4.jpg); 
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
}

There's code there that removes that avatar entirely.

Last post of that thread asks if there's a way to resize it as it does in a thread. Someone will post a solution, I'm sure.

somebody can help me ??

You have this somewhere in your template:

Code Select

<div style="background-color: #D0D0D0;">

I don't know if it's properly closed or not (didn't dig through your entire html) but either remove that div tag along with the one that closes it, or don't set the background-color attribute (change the code above to <div>). The latter solution is easier, since you don't have to find the closing tag, but it's just being lazy. I suggest finding the closing tag.
