Forum Background

[keatoru]

I want to add a background to my forum. Like this forum did

http://smartwarez.org/forums/

*sorry if i am not suppose post something like that but i need an example*

Well to do that i know that i would first need too make my forum thinner. right now it stretches to the sides of the browser. where do i change that.

now where and how do i add a background img

Upload your bg image in your styles misc folder

now login to admincp and go to:
Admincp>>Styles & Templates>>style manager

and open your style

now scroll down to the body section and place this code:

url(path/to/your/background/image/bg.gif)

in the Background box

Remember to edit the code given above to your image path
ie:

url(images/yourstyle/misc/bg.gif)

do i not need to resize the forum?

If its currently fills the whole page (fluid) then yes...
above the body section mentioned above there is a section called:
Sizes and Dimensions (just below footer template)

in the 1st box "Main Table Width (pixels or percentage)"

change 100% to a lower %

thats not working. it changed the tables but the header and nave stay at 100%. i changed in header box to the same % percent as tables but it still strectches to 100%
